Chocolate Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Crumble

Chocolate Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Crumble
What is better then fresh warm banana bread!? Add in some chocolate and top with a peanut butter crumble to take it to the next level. You get the melty chocolate in the middle of the sweet bread and a crunchy topping to finish it off. I am almost always a sweet breakfast fan, and this Chocolate Banana Bread paired with a cup of coffee is my favorite.

This is a simple one bowl banana bread recipe. So all you have to do is mix everything in one bowl for minimum clean up.  I love layering the chocolate in the middle of the bread for a great melty surprise. Then the topping is so simple with just some oats, peanut butter, coconut sugar, and a little coconut oil.  It creates a perfect crunchy topping, and is honestly probably my favorite part of the bread.

This Chocolate Banana Bread is not overly sweet, but perfectly moist and fluffy. There is just something about banana bread that is so nostalgic and comforting. With so many varieties and so many recipes now, I am super happy with how this lighter version turned out. It taste decadent, but light enough to have for breakfast. I usually make a loaf on Sunday to have during the week for a wonderful but simple breakfast. Or I will even make two batches and slice one, wrap up the slices in plastic wrap, and put them in the freezer for later. I love topping it with some additional nut butter for an even more satisfying snack or breakfast. You could also crumble up a slice over some greek yogurt to add some protein. I know there has been a lot of banana bread making happening over the last year, but I hope you find this recipe super delicious and simple.
