Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, mash the banana thoroughly.
Whisk in Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the dry ingredients
Sift in cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold gently until fully combined — you want a thick, fudgy batter.

4. Add chocolate chips
Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top for visual appeal.

5. Bake
Pour batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs (not fully dry).

6. Cool and cut triangles
Let the cake cool completely.
Slice into triangles or squares — the portion-friendly shape makes them perfect for snacks or lunchboxes.

What to Serve With Cake Triangles

These cake triangles are delightful on their own, but here are some pairing ideas:

• A cup of coffee or hot cocoa

Tips for Perfect Cake Triangles

Use ripe bananas — they provide natural sweetness and moisture.
Do not overbake — you want the center soft and fudgy.
Peanut butter adds richness and protein; natural or creamy works best.
Chill for easier cutting — the triangles hold shape beautifully.
Add texture — nuts, coconut, or extra chocolate chips make them even more indulgent.
