Ingredients You Need
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Banana Loaf recipe
- all-purpose flour
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- creamy peanut butter, slightly melted
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- baking soda
- baking powder
- salt
- ripe bananas
- olive oil
- eggs
- almond milk or milk
- Chocolate Glaze – Hershey’s Spread or Nutella melted
- Peanut Butter Glaze – melted
- Optional: Mini Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chips
Instructions How to Make Chocolate & Peanut Butter Banana Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large 9×5 loaf pan with tin foil or parchment paper, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, using mixer or whisk, mix together the sugars, mashed banana mixture, slightly melted peanut butter, olive oil, milk and eggs.
- Stir in the dry ingredients of unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder & soda and salt into the wet mixture until combined.
- Start adding in the flour gradually, using mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Pour batter into a 9×5 inch loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
- Once the loaf has cooled slightly, top with peanut butter and chocolate by melting each in separate microwave-safe bowls for 30 seconds, then stir until creamy and you have melted chocolate and peanut butter.
- Heat for an additional 15 seconds if needed. Drizzle each over loaf. (Use pastry bag or ziplog bag with small hole cut out of corner if you want to drizzle smaller lines. I found the Nutella wasn’t as runny as the peanut butter, so I did use the bag method for drizzling.)
- Add mini chocolate and peanut butter chips and serve warm, room temp or refrigerated.
- You can serve the chocolate and peanut butter glazes when serving cake slices individually as another option.
