Description
A moist and decadent loaf that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate with the creaminess of Greek yogurt. With its crackled top and fudgy interior, this loaf is a healthier twist on classic banana bread—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
3. Whisk in peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until creamy.
4. Sift in cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
6. Pour batter into loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra chocolate chips if desired.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Allow to cool completely before slicing to reveal the fudgy, crackled texture.
Notes
Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
Substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free.
Store at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge up to 1 week, or freeze individual slices for 3 months.
For a more decadent dessert, drizzle with melted dark chocolate before serving.
