Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (220 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 grams), melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (90 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (almond or oat milk optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add peanut butter and melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir gently until combined.
  4. Whisk in eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. Do not overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no flour streaks remain. Mix just until combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes. The toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. While the bread cools, melt chocolate chips with milk in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  10. After the bread has cooled for about 15 minutes, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and let it set before slicing.

Notes

Do not slice the bread while it is piping hot to avoid crumbling. Use ripe bananas for best sweetness. If the chocolate drizzle is too thick, add more milk; if too runny, add more chocolate chips and remelt. You can prepare the drizzle during the last 10 minutes of baking to save time.
