• doses: 12 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 1 hour

Ingredientes

1 1/2 cup Mashed Ripe Bananas (equivalent 4 large riped bananas, black spots on the skin)

1/3 cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted)

1/3 cup Light Olive Oil (or canola oil)

1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 cup Coconut Sugar (or any granulated sugar you like)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or white wholewheat flour)

1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 teaspoons Cinnamon

1/2 cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips

Instruções

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper and pan with oil spray or coconut oil. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a potato masher or a fork or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer. Mash until almost no lumps show, it must be very runny for an ultra-moist texture. Measure 1 cup + 1/2 cup of mashed bananas - if extra, freeze for later.

Stir the peanut butter, olive oil, vanilla extract. When the mixture is consistent stir in almond milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, stir flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the batter is consistent.

Fold in chocolate chips if desired.

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center rack of the oven until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean - about 50 - 55 minutes. You can add a piece of foil on top of the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the banana bread from browning too fast.

Cool down on a wire rack for 2-3 hours before slicing.

Decorate with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate and extra fresh peanut butter if desired.

Storage

Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container. It can be frozen and thaw the day before at room temperature.
