PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD RECIPE

ingredients


3 ripe bananas (the riper the better) 
1/2 cup self raising flour (I used gluten free) 
1 cup ground almonds 
2 flax eggs (2 tbsps ground flax seed and 5 tbsps water allow to soak for 10 minutes) or you can use 2 actual eggs
1/2 cup honey 
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter 
1 tsp baking powder 
1tsp vanilla essence
150g chocolate of choice (I used dark) chopped into small chunks
Pinch of salt 
A few big dollops of peanut butter to top the cake

Method:
Mash banana
Add all the wet ingredients: honey, flax egg, melted oil/butter, vanilla essence 
Combine thoroughly
Add all the dry ingredients apart from the chocolate chunks
If the mixture seems a little bit thick, add a splash of a milk of your choice (I used almond) 
Once combined, add the chocolate 
Pour into a lined loaf tin
Once in the tin, add a few dollops of peanut butter onto the top of the batter and swirl around
Bake for around 40-50 minutes at 180 degrees in a fan oven or until the knife comes out almost clean (it usually has some residue on because it is quite a moist cake)
Leave to cool 
Slice and enjoy
