Ingredients
- 2 banana mashed, medium, overripe
- 1/3 cup peanut butter unsweetened, natural
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- peanut for garnish, optional, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until you have a uniform batter. It's important not to overmix, and to stir gently.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan. You can sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts, extra chocolate chips, and sea salt if desired.
- Slide the pan into the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
