Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Description
This loaf combines all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder with mashed ripe bananas, peanut butter, sugar, and avocado oil. The batter is mixed gently and baked in a parchment-lined loaf pan at 350°F for about 50-55 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Cooling before slicing ensures clean cuts without crumbling.
The bread has a moist crumb enriched by peanut butter and banana sweetness, balanced by the cocoa’s chocolate flavor. Avocado oil helps keep the texture tender. The dense yet soft crumb makes it versatile as a snack or breakfast bread.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4-5 days. It freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. Wrapping in plastic and freezer bags protects from freezer burn.
