How to Make Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Loaf with Fudgy Swirls

PIN IT

1. Preheat & Prep – Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mash & Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Stir in peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
3. Dry Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
4. Combine – Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
5. Make the Fudgy Swirl – Scoop out about ½ cup of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa powder.
6. Layer & Swirl – Pour half of the plain batter into the loaf pan, spoon over half of the chocolate batter, then repeat. Use a knife to swirl gently.
7. Bake – Place in oven for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
8. Cool & Slice – Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Slice thick, serve warm, and swoon.
