Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread –
Thick peanut buttery homemade banana bread, hot from the oven, with melty chocolate chips and banana packed into every single delicious bite. This banana bread includes basically all of my favorite ingredients!
The recipe can be vegan and 100% free of refined sugar, with no oil required. Instead, a full 1 2/3 cup of banana adds incredible moisture, while the peanut butter gives it a richness that might just make this your new favorite banana bread recipe!
(Technically, you would also have to add broccoli if you wanted the chocolate peanut butter banana bread to include all of my favorite ingredients. But please don’t do that!)
Also be sure to try out the non-chocolate version, my Healthy Banana Bread Recipe.
This decadent chocolate peanut butter banana bread is also ridiculously good if you slather coconut butter or even more peanut butter on top.
Just an idea.

Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup overripe mashed banana
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1/3 cup milk of choice
- 1/3 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly alternative
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1/8 tsp uncut stevia OR 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cup spelt, white, or bob’s gf flour, loosely packed (210g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- optional, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips in the batter, plus regular chips for decoration
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan very well, and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together first six ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, and stir. Pour dry ingredients into wet, and mix until just evenly combined. Transfer to the pan, and spread out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter, and press down. Bake 27 minutes. Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat. Let sit 10 minutes in the closed oven before removing. (Some ovens may require additional baking time, due to climate or oven calibrations.) This chocolate peanut butter banana bread tastes even sweeter the next day. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen.

Hi Katie
Is this recipe more dense and fudgy than your chocolate banana bread recipe?
Jason Sanford says
I think they are pretty similar 🙂

wondering whether i can make this with less sugar. doing it for a couple who don’t like things too sweet and who try to keep sugar intake minimal. how much could i cut sugar without ruining the recipe? thanks!

Wanted to make banana bread for my granddaughter and I thought she’d love this recipe. I didn’t add extra sugar as the banana and maple syrup is sweet enough for us, I had to bake it longer!!
