This Supreme Chocolate & Peanut Butter Banana Loaf is so decadent and rich. It's like a devil's food cake and the luscious texture is gorgeous, like a light pound cake loaf. The intense dark chocolate flavor comes through the most, even though there are bananas and peanut butter in the batter! So yummy for breakfast or on the go!
Add some tantalizing peanut butter and chocolate glaze on top and you've got some killer snackin' banana bread! This trio of rich chocolate, peanut butter and banana flavors make it extra 'SUPREME'-LY GOOD! Are ya with me here?
So, again, like every winter, I'm so over this winter as it unpopularly drags on foreva! Just shut me out of this cruel, ugly winter of gray skies of gloom and give me some sunshine, please! And notably, we are now in a winter storm warning...ugh! So I bake.
It's not possible to get the real deal of sunshine where I live. So, I came up with something to make me smile and comfort me in my sorrows and woes. This bread! It definitely made me smile, as well as my stomach. I think it was smiling too.
Ingredients You Need
- all-purpose flour
- unsweetened cocoa
- 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
How to Make Chocolate & Peanut Butter Banana Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large 9x5 loaf pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, using mixer, mix together the sugars, mashed bananas, slightly melted peanut butter, olive oil, milk and eggs.
- Stir in cocoa, 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 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 runny.
- 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.
- Or you can serve the chocolate and peanut butter glazes when serving cake slices individually.
This is the most ultimate Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread Loaf ever! Give it a try!

Loved this bread. It was scrumptious! When I made it I Didn't see any direction for the milk,so I just alternated with the flour. No problem. Love your recipes. Keep them coming.

Thank you so much Pattie! I'm honored to be selected for a recipe for you to try. It won't disappoint! I would love to see that when it comes out. I enjoyed visiting your blog and I thought those red sugared-sparkly things, now clarified as 'Peeps' were adorable! LOL...I love peeps, so I would probably eat them for breakfast, really! 🙂 Glad to have connected with you.
Pattie @ Olla-Podrida says
Oh, my! This looks positively decadent. I will be printing this one out and putting it in my "Blog Recipes To Try Cookbook" (and, yes, I do have one like this). Thanks for visiting my blog. You asked about what was in the teacup in my Valentine breakfast place setting. Well, I am embarrassed to tell you that they were red heart peeps (those marshmallow thingies). Not at all what one would consume at breakfast, but they looked so darned cute
