Ingredients
  

For the Bread

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted peanut butter, sugar, mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract; fold these into your wet mixture. Gradually add in all-purpose flour, mixing until no dry flour remains.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, place banana slices on top for garnish.
  5. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. After baking, cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Prepare the peanut butter drizzle by microwaving creamy peanut butter for 30 seconds and stirring until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the top of the cooled bread, slice, and enjoy!
