Choc Peanut Banana Bread

This week while surfing Instagram in search of some foodspiration for Miss 4's birthday party I stumbled across the most decadent looking peanut butter and chocolate banana bread I had ever seen, beautifully created by @neuroticmommy.  Instantly I knew not only did I have to make that for my family, but also the impending group of party goers would be pleased! I have slightly tweaked from the original and made it gluten free, grain free, dairy free.

 

Ingredients

3/4 cup green banana flour - Natural Evolution Ultimate Gluten Free Baking Flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of bicarb soda

1/3 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy because that was in my pantry - any would be fine :))

1/2 cup cacao

1/2 cup coconut oil

3/4 cup coconut sugar

2 eggs

3 ripe bananas

pinch of salt

teaspoon of vanilla

1 extra banana for decorating top

1/4 cup peanut butter for decorating

1/4 melted choc for decorating

 

Method

1. Prepare bread tin either by lining or lightly grease/dust.


2. Put all ingredients into TM or food processor mix until well combined. If using a hand mixer mash bananas first and then mix everything together.


3. Pour into prepared tin. Slice banana and gently push into the batter.

4.Bake in oven for 40-45mins or until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

5. Melt peanut butter and chocolate in separate bowls, then use the back of a spoon to drizzle across the top.


6. Enjoy!
