Chocolate peanut butter banana bread. Here are all my tweaks: Subbed 1 cup creamy Skippy peanut butter for the butter. It's pretty salty so I omitted the salt altogether. I used 4 ripe bananas and I don't mash them beforehand - I just chunk them up and chuck them into the running mixer. Trust me, you'll like the texture so much better this way. I sifted 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in with the dry ingredients. It gave a nice light chocolate flavor, but if you really wanted it chocolatey you could do 2.5 or 3. The batter was much stickier than usual, bc of the peanut butter. I always bake an 8x8 pan at 325 for 1 hour and my knife comes out clean. I line my pan with parchment paper and cut out the corners. Spray the bottom with Bakers Joy or butter and flour. I lift the cake out of the pan almost immediately to a wire rack. No waste this way! I usually add 1 tsp of cinnamon to this bread and didn't this time, but wish I had, even half a tsp. I also use 1 tsp vanilla always. Anyways no complaints. This is an awesome variation, thanks to all for the inspiration! ?\nI add 2 tablespoons of apple vinegar to the wet mix and only mix together once oven is hot and pans are buttered. The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar creates fantastic lift making this very fluffy by comparison. This is my go to recipe I made a cute copy to paste inside my cupboard The vinegar part was realized later but I never forget, especially if I use 4 bananas! I also add spices like ginger powder and cinnamon. I love this recipe!\nI've made this recipe several times and always use 1\/4 cup applesauce and 1\/4 cup butter to lessen the fat, and use only 3\/4 cup sugar. I also use 4-5 bananas and add some cinnamon. It always turns out perfectly delicious! Love, love, love this recipe!!\nI’ll be chuckling for a long time.....in over 50 years of cooking I have never seen “remove odd pots from oven” . This is so relevant for me. I love it! THAT’S GOLD!!! Now, if I can stop giggling long enough (seriously-thank you. I don’t have a lot to even smile about, lately) I’ll give this recipe a go.\nDelicious in its original form, but it's amazing how much abuse this recipe can take. The first time I used this recipe I made it with 50% more bananas, and worse, they were slimy frozen and thawed bananas. I added cocoa powder. And peanut butter. Halved the sugar. The loaf still turned out delicious, if extra moist! Had to add about 15 minutes in the oven though.","attrs_markdown":"- Recipes\n  - [Breakfast & Brunch Recipes](https:\/\/www.food.com\/ideas\/breakfast-brunch-recipes-6514?ref=nav)\n  - [Lunch Recipes](https:\/\/www.food.com\/ideas\/easy-lunch-recipes-7007?ref=nav)\n  -

Chocolate peanut butter banana bread. Here are all my tweaks: Subbed 1 cup creamy Skippy peanut butter for the butter. It's pretty salty so I omitted the salt altogether. I used 4 ripe bananas and I don't mash them beforehand - I just chunk them up and chuck them into the running mixer. Trust me, you'll like the texture so much better this way. I sifted 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in with the dry ingredients. It gave a nice light chocolate flavor, but if you really wanted it chocolatey you could do 2.5 or 3. The batter was much stickier than usual, bc of the peanut butter. I always bake an 8x8 pan at 325 for 1 hour and my knife comes out clean. I line my pan with parchment paper and cut out the corners. Spray the bottom with Bakers Joy or butter and flour. I lift the cake out of the pan almost immediately to a wire rack. No waste this way! I usually add 1 tsp of cinnamon to this bread and didn't this time, but wish I had, even half a tsp. I also use 1 tsp vanilla always. Anyways no complaints. This is an awesome variation, thanks to all for the inspiration! ? - ![Review photo by Denise M.](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_768,ar_16:9/v1/img/feed/2886/xeKul9ZdTxKTXs3IGs16_20170323_193853.jpg) [Denise M.](https://www.food.com/user/2001452359) Reply 53 See 5 Replies 2.

The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar creates fantastic lift making this very fluffy by comparison. This is my go to recipe I made a cute copy to paste inside my cupboard The vinegar part was realized later but I never forget, especially if I use 4 bananas!

The first time I used this recipe I made it with 50% more bananas, and worse, they were slimy frozen and thawed bananas. I added cocoa powder. And peanut butter. Halved the sugar. The loaf still turned out delicious, if extra moist! Had to add about 15 minutes in the oven though. - ![Review photo by MeiLi S.](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_768,ar_16:9/v1/img/feed/2886/jZW5ccUWSzyiJeFry4lN_WhatsApp%2520Image%25202017-07-14%2520at%252000.59.37.jpeg) [MeiLi S.](https://www.food.com/user/2001625053) Reply 20 See 2 Replies see 374 more tweaks ## RECIPE SUBMITTED BY [![](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_112,ar_1:1/v1/gk-static/gk/img/avatar/fruit-kebab.png)](https://www.food.com/user/1762) [lkadlec](https://www.food.com/user/1762) Follow Me - [325 Followers](https://www.food.com/user/1762?filter=followers) - [24 Recipes](https://www.food.com/user/1762?filter=recipes) Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement ## YOU'LL ALSO LOVE [![Our 50 Most-Saved Recipes](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_328,ar_4:3/v1/img/recipes/38/29/8/Z8MMxtVfQfCLy4zZJtZU_0S9A7184.jpg)](https://www.food.com/ideas/most-saved-recipes-6799) [Our 50 Most-Saved Recipes](https://www.food.com/ideas/most-saved-recipes-6799 "Our 50 Most-Saved Recipes") [50 photos](https://www.food.com/ideas/most-saved-recipes-6799) [![32 Best Banana Bread Recipes](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_328,ar_4:3/v1/img/recipes/28/86/wBZxNua1T8yfDwbfo9Fz_0S9A9315.jpg)](https://www.food.com/ideas/favorite-banana-bread-recipes-6003) [32 Best Banana Bread Recipes](https://www.food.com/ideas/favorite-banana-bread-recipes-6003 "32 Best Banana Bread Recipes") [![Banana Banana Bread](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_328,ar_4:3/v1/img/recipes/25/88/5/CRAukFk1Tf2xpDPtcOUB_0S9A1642.jpg)](https://www.food.com/recipe/banana-banana-bread-25885) [Banana Banana Bread](https://www.food.com/recipe/banana-banana-bread-25885 "Banana Banana Bread") by [Shelley Albeluhn](https://www.food.com/user/76261) [899](https://www.food.com/recipe/banana-banana-bread-25885) [![Sour Cream Banana Bread](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_328,ar_4:3/v1/img/recipes/93/51/uAo0F9diTyqexMQJctEk_batch23-6608.jpg)](https://www.food.com/recipe/sour-cream-banana-bread-9351) [Sour Cream Banana Bread](https://www.food.com/recipe/sour-cream-banana-bread-9351 "Sour Cream Banana Bread") by [Charishma\_Ramchandani](https://www.food.com/user/6357) [644](https://www.food.com/recipe/sour-cream-banana-bread-9351) [View All Recipes](https://www.food.com/recipe) ## Find More Recipes [Back To Top](https://www.food.com/recipe/best-banana-bread-2886#top) [All Categories](https://www.food.com/topic) [Site Map](https://www.food.com/html-sitemap) [About Us](https://www.food.com/how-to/about-us-31) [Help](https://food.zendesk.com/) The Discovery Family of Networks - [HGTV](https://www.hgtv.com/) - [DIY Network](https://www.diynetwork.com/) - [Food Network](https://www.foodnetwork.com/) - [Cooking Channel](https://www.cookingchanneltv.com/) - [Travel Channel](https://www.travelchannel.com/) - [HGTV Poland](https://hgtv.pl/) © 2026 Warner Bros.

Chocolate peanut butter banana bread. Here are all my tweaks: Subbed 1 cup creamy Skippy peanut butter for the butter. It's pretty salty so I omitted the salt altogether. I used 4 ripe bananas and I don't mash them beforehand - I just chunk them up and chuck them into the running mixer. Trust me, you'll like the texture so much better this way. I sifted 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in with the dry ingredients. It gave a nice light chocolate flavor, but if you really wanted it chocolatey you could do 2.5 or 3. The batter was much stickier than usual, bc of the peanut butter. I always bake an 8x8 pan at 325 for 1 hour and my knife comes out clean. I line my pan with parchment paper and cut out the corners. Spray the bottom with Bakers Joy or butter and flour. I lift the cake out of the pan almost immediately to a wire rack. No waste this way! I usually add 1 tsp of cinnamon to this bread and didn't this time, but wish I had, even half a tsp. I also use 1 tsp vanilla always. Anyways no complaints. This is an awesome variation, thanks to all for the inspiration! ? - ![Review photo by Denise M.](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_768,ar_16:9/v1/img/feed/2886/xeKul9ZdTxKTXs3IGs16_20170323_193853.jpg) 2.

The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar creates fantastic lift making this very fluffy by comparison. This is my go to recipe I made a cute copy to paste inside my cupboard The vinegar part was realized later but I never forget, especially if I use 4 bananas! I also add spices like ginger powder and cinnamon. I love this recipe\! - ![Review photo by Roxanne Sterling](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_768,ar_16:9/v1/img/feed/2886/PuBHaYrETKPzonIe0yqD_bananabreadposter.jpg) 3.

I also use 4-5 bananas and add some cinnamon. It always turns out perfectly delicious! Love, love, love this recipe!\! - ![Review photo by mmstanny](https://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/f_auto,c_thumb,q_55,w_768,ar_16:9/v1/img/feed/2886/klAWzgS96FaiDaqpNLig_image.jpg) 4.

This is so relevant for me. I love it! THAT’S GOLD!!! Now, if I can stop giggling long enough (seriously-thank you. I don’t have a lot to even smile about, lately) I’ll give this recipe a go. 5.
