Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Use creamy varieties, avoid natural as it doesn’t melt well.
  • 1 cup Sugar Substituting with brown sugar can add a different flavor profile.
  • 3 medium Mashed Bananas Overripe bananas yield the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Melted coconut oil can be a delightful substitute.
  • 2 large Eggs Replace with a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Choose pure vanilla for superior results.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour A gluten-free flour blend works for those avoiding gluten.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Ensure it’s unsweetened to maintain taste balance.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Keep it fresh for effective rising.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt A must for enhancing the sweetness in every bite.
Optional Topping
  • 1 medium Banana Slices Adds a decorative touch and an extra burst of banana goodness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted peanut butter, granulated sugar, and mashed bananas. Stir in vegetable oil and eggs until well incorporated.
  3. Gently stir in cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Fold in all-purpose flour until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, lay banana slices on top.
  6. Bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
