Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup optional chopped peanuts (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Chocolaty Peanut Butter Banana Bread as a rich, satisfying treat!
