Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe is an easy twist on a classic. It has all the sweetness of a guilty pleasure cake but makes for the perfect breakfast. Who doesn’t love a dessert the doubles as breakfast. Keep reading below to find out how I make my Easy Banana Bread Recipe using cake mix.
Can Bananas be too Ripe for Banana Bread?
One of the reasons Banana Bread is such an awesome recipe is because it uses up those bananas that you have let go just a little bit too far, or maybe a lot a bit.
One thing I love to do is if I have forgot about some bananas and they have gotten a little bit too brown to eat. I will peel them and pop them in the freezer. Then you can pull them out to make this recipe whenever you have the time.
Best Ingredients for Banana Bread
Another reason Banana Bread is a superior go-to recipe is because it is so diverse. Bananas pair so well with so many flavors that you can really tailor it to whatever you are feeling that day.
Some of the best add in ingredients you can add to take this recipe to the next level is chocolate chips, peanut butter, cinnamon, cream cheese, and all kinds of nuts. My personal favorite is adding nuts. I love to add pecans or almonds for a good crunch.
Best Part of Banana Bread
The best part of Banana Bread is that is can easily be frozen so if you need to make it ahead of time. Just bake it, let it cool and pop it into the freezer for the next time you need a sweet fix.
Banana bread also makes for a wonderful gift. If you know someone who isn’t feeling well, make them a loaf. You need a quick present for someone special in your life. Make them a basket with some of their favorite teas, and pop in a loaf. Homemade gifts are always the best. Especially when they involve food.
