@cokocooks

Peanut butter cup banana bread! Need I say more?? I think not, but I’m going to tell y’all about this indulgent bread that can also be made into muffins!

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread

Peanut Butter Cup Batter

First off banana, chocolate, and peanut butter are just an unmatched combo. All three combined are indulgent enough, but then you make it into a classic banana bread and it is out of this world. You have the moist banana bread with creamy peanut butter cups throughout the batter, and then a peanut butter crumble on the top. The sweet crunchy topping is my favorite part on any baked good, so I thought why not add it to this bread. Then you get that peanut butter crunch topping with the moist bread every bite.

One of the best things about this bread is it can be made vegan and gluten free! That way anyone with a dietary preference can partake in enjoying this bread!

Ingredients

The most essential ingredient in this bread is the ripe bananas. The bananas provide moisture, sweetness, and make this bread banana bread. For the other wet ingredients you need some flax eggs. A great vegan alternative to regular eggs that allow the ingredients to bind. Then a little vegan butter and creamy peanut butter are added to round out the wet ingredients. The butter allows the peanut butter to not be overpowdering with peanut butter flavor. There is just enough peanut butter added to make the bread moist but not overwhelming with peanut flavor. Then it gives a little room in the recipe to mix in those very important peanut butter cups without feeling too indulgent.

For the dry ingredients I used some gluten free flour so it was safe for all my friends and family to enjoy. All purpose flour would also work well with this recipe. Then I used monk fruit sweetener to keep the sugar content lower. You could also use regular cane sugar or coconut sugar. All that is left is the baking powder and soda, and ofcourse those peanut butter cups. You CAN”T forget those. They take this bread to the next level with the dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter middle. The texture they provide throughout the bread is my favorite.
