Chocolate banana bread with peanut butter crumbles

Apr. 10, 2017 · 28 Kommentare

This secretly healthy banana bread has no dairy, butter, or refined sugar. It is naturally sweetened with bananas and coconut sugar. So totally save to load it with chocolate drops and peanut butter crumbles!

Chocolate bananabread with peanut butter crumbles

So, to be honest, I felt a little pressured about this one. You guys absolutely loved the marbled banana bread, and with over 50 remakes the stakes were high. I wanted to keep the moist liquid inside but make it more „crunchy“ on the outside. To create the absolute moistness, I incorporated two whole bananas. Well, not just bananas. Bananas dipped in raw dark chocolate.

It was an idea that strangely came to my mind, while I was about to fall asleep, and then a misty filter came in front of my eyes showing my the exact picture of how my next banana bread should look like. Am I a strange person, when I have food dreams while others have sex dreams? (this might be material for a next blog post… Just saying)

CAN IT BE DONE?

Anyway, I was talking to my talented friend Stefanie, which you might know from her amazing breakfast creations @stefaniegoldmarie, and told her if she thinks, it’s possible to have chocolate coated bananas in a banana bread, without the chocolate being melted from the high temperature in the oven.
We came to the conclusion the I should just try and see how it turns out. Even if it would not look pretty, it would hopefully still taste amazing.

I have to say that I am quite happy with the outcome. LIE. I totally freaking love this bread! So here is something true:
If you are looking for a decadent banana bread that isn’t loaded with sugar and fats but packed with flavor and fancy chocolate dipped bananas..Don’t look any further!

*to make peanut butter crumbles, simply take 2 big spoons of peanut butter and spread it on a little piece of baking paper. Microwave for about 2 minutes, and always keep an eye on it. When the surface starts to crack, you know your crumbles are ready.

    Tolle Idee, die Bananen einfach so ins Brot zu backen! Da hast du dich ja mal wieder selbst übertroffen, Lara 😉 Sendest du auch nach London her? Schaut einfach zu gut aus!

    Liebe Grüße

    What the heck? Lara, you are crazy! This looks like a dream come true (yes I do dream of food all the time). I’m sitting here drooling on my keyboard. I’m a lover of your mabled banana bread but next time I’m in for banana bread (aka when my next batch of bananas is ripe enough) I will try this one. Or better yet you just pack yours and show up at my front door while I make us some hot chocolate to go with it.

      I think we should totally meet and drink hot chocolate and eat banana bread Julia 🙂 Perfect match right?! And we could make a marbled one with bananas inside just to go the extra mile 😀 thanks for your comment girl, appreciate it.

    Holy cow! This looks amazing. I’m so happy Pinterest recommended this recipe which brought me to your lovely blog and to this mouthwatering recipe. I may have to make both and have a banana bread brunch with my book club… Or maybe I’ll just make and eat both myself 🙂

    Awesome blog!

    Alleine die Idee ist schon verdächtig genial. Mit dem Ergebnis kannst du mehr als zufrieden sein. Es sieht grandios aus. Wenn es nur halb so gut schmeckt, ist es perfekt. Das Rezept steht jetzt jedenfalls auf meiner To-Do-Liste in der Back-Kategorie.
    Liebe Grüße, Lisa.

    Heya Lara,

    You inspired me to bake this using my oat and flax bran and pumpkin and chia seed protein mix. I also used honey for a sugar substitute. It came out delightfully; banana choc loafy perfection!

    Many thanks,
    saf

    Hi Lara. Not that someone would want to, but if you don’t have the 2 extra bananas can you omit them? Also, why baking powder instead of soda? Thanks!

      Hi Aly, sure you can leave out the bananas. I was using the baking powder for the sake of raising power and that the bananas don’t go down 😉

    Hi Lara I was so excited to try this banana bread but after after I took it out of the oven and allowed it to cool the whole bread fell apart & everything was gooey when i was trying to transfer it to another container. What do you think went wrong?

      Hi Cheryl! Ohh noo! So sad to hear that as I have just received positive feedback all over. Soo was it so crumbly/dry or too liquid? Can you tell me the flour you used? We can figure this out ????????????

    I used the 1 1/2 cups of oat flour and the 1/4 cup of coconut flour. It was liquidy inside from the whole bananas that went in the middle. I only froze the bananas for a little bit until the chocolate was hard. I’m thinking that maybe I should had froze them until the bananas were more solid?

      Hi Cheryl yes that could be exactly the point! Otherwise you can try to use my other recipe for the marbled banana Cake without the bananas inside if that works better for you. You find the recipe when you search for banana bread in the search bar. Bake on ❤️
