Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper leaving some overhang to remove the bread easily.
In a plate or a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or a potato masher until almost no lumps show. Measure 1 cup of mashed banana and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add the mashed bananas and whisk to combine well. Stir in milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon until all the dry ingredients have incorporated well.
Fold in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips if desired.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 50 – 55 minutes.
Cool down on a wire rack for 2-3 hours before slicing. It will be very moist and crumbly when it is hot.
Unmold the banana bread by gently pulling the parchment paper overhang and let cool and serve.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
