Ingredients You Need
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Banana Loaf
- 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 9×5 loaf pan
with tin foil or parchment paper, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, using mixer or whisk, 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.
- You can serve the chocolate and peanut butter glazes when serving cake slices individually as another option.

Visiting from Treasure Box Tuesday. How decadent and dense, this bread looks perfect! I would love for you to stop by and share this and other recipes with us over at Sweet and Savoury Sunday. Have a great day! Laura@Baking in Pyjamas
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.
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
