Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar or natural sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 medium bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter or normal peanut butter
  • 2 cups light spelt flour or plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup dark/semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter or normal peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar of choice or natural sweetener
  • 6-8 tablespoons warm water more if you need it

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Loaf pan
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your loaf pan with a little butter or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar (or natural sweetener) and beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Mash the ripe bananas until smooth and fold them into the butter-sugar mixture.
  6. Add the powdered peanut butter (or regular peanut butter) and blend until fully integrated.
  7. In another bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Stir in the honey and chocolate chips, folding them gently into the batter.
  10. If your batter seems too thick, add warm water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  12. Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.

  • Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for freshness.
  • Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
