Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Bread. Clearly I was experiencing some flavor combination cravings that wouldn’t be satisfied until I unleashed my experimental powers in the kitchen. And fortunately for me, and my family, the experiment paid off! Another delicious treat you can enjoy without too much guilt!
Providing healthier snacks for my kids is a priority. You already know I love experimenting with baked goods that are deceptively packed full of healthy ingredients. For example, my Chocolate Deception Cake, Lemon Zucchini Bread, Honey Olive Quinoa Cake, Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies, Orange Chocolate Hazelnut Bread, and Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, just to name a few.
So one afternoon I made a loaf of Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bread and we all enjoyed it as a family. Made with whole grains (your choice of spelt or whole wheat flour), honey, buttermilk, and coconut oil, this is another treat you can enjoy without all the guilt.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Let’s get started!
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mash the bananas. In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Add the peanut butter and beat until combined. Add the mashed banana and beat until combined. Add the buttermilk and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture gradually, folding it in with a rubber spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over-stir. Some small lumps of flour will remain and that’s okay. Stir in the chocolate chips. Grease a 9X5 inch loaf pan (I used Fat Daddio’s Loaf Pans)and pour the batter in.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F for about 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool.
