Ingredients

Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup drippy peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
  • 2 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 320°F if using a fan-assisted oven). Spray a loaf tin with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, drippy peanut butter, eggs, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
  3. Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  4. Prepare Loaf Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate evenly on top of the batter to add a rich sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf tin in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. Monitor the top; if it browns too quickly, cover the loaf loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure the loaf sets properly.

Notes

  • This bread is naturally gluten-free due to the absence of flour.
  • Use ripe bananas for better sweetness and moisture.
  • Adjust nuts or chocolate quantities based on personal preference.
  • Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly during baking.
  • Store cooled bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
