Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups spelt, einkorn or whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed bananas , about 2 large bananas
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the Peanut Butter Glaze:
- 1/2 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- extra chocolate and peanut butter chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Set aside.In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas, sugar, sour cream, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer just until combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture, about half of the flour mixture at a time. Stir just until combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake on the middle rack for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.Let the cake sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze: Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan or in a microwavable dish, and heat just until it is melted enough to form a liquid-like mixture. Stir to combine and pour the glaze over the cake. If desired, sprinkle some chocolate chips and peanut butter chips over it before the glaze dries (other options: Reese's Pieces, cut up Reese's peanut butter cups, or drizzle melted chocolate over it for a pretty swirly pattern). Let the glaze set before slicing.
