Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bread

So I was planning on making a Valentine’s Day recipe (cookies, donuts, etc.)… But that didn’t happen. Why, you ask? Because I had the BIGGEST banana bread craving known to man. So I decided to whip up this gluten-free peanut butter chocolate bread instead! And boy, am I glad I did!

Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bread

I’ve been snacking on this banana bread all week because it is that delicious. I wanted to munch the whole thing down in the first day – but I held off because *will power*. JK, I just wanted it to last longer. 😉

This recipe is lower sugar than your typical banana bread, along with being gluten-free, and packed with nutrients from the Greek yogurt, bananas, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. A little healthy spin on your typical banana bread.

The full gluten-free peanut butter chocolate banana bread recipe is below, along with shoppable links for any ingredients you don’t have on hand. Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I have!

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 medium mashed bananas (about 1/2 cup mashed)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup gluten-free flour (The gluten-free flour I bought is a 1:1 ratio to regular flour. Any substitutions for other gluten-free flour [coconut, oat, etc.] should be made based on their own ratio to regular flour.)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325 F. Coat a 9″ loaf pan with butter or non-stick baking spray. (I used the Farberware 9″ loaf pan and coconut oil spray)
2. Whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, honey, brown sugar, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract).
3. In a small bowl, add the dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt).
4. Slowly pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring constantly until mixed together with no clumps. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
5. Pour the mixture into your greased baking pan. On top, drizzle peanut butter. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cool for 20-30 minutes in the pan and then transfer the loaf to a cooling rack to cool completely.
