Peanut butter and choc banana bread

Peanut butter and chocolate banana bread is a deliciously moist and flavorful treat that combines the rich taste of peanut butter, the sweetness of bananas, and the savory notes of hazelnuts. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, this bread is easy to make and sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 eggs
100g
2 bananas
240g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1/3 cup peanut butter
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
3. Add the Eggs:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue to mix until the mixture is smooth.
4. Incorporate the Bananas:
Fold in the mashed bananas using a spatula until well combined.
5. Mix in Peanut Butter:
Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
6. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk:
Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
7. Fold in Hazelnuts:
Gently fold the chopped hazelnuts into the batter with a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed.
8. Transfer to Loaf Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
10. Cool:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
Slice and serve your delicious peanut butter and choc banana bread as a delightful treat or snack!

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful bread.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt to each cup of plain flour.

- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Chop the hazelnuts roughly for a nice crunchy texture.

- Swirl the peanut butter into the batter for a marbled effect before baking.

- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.

Peanut butter and choc banana bread is a delightful combination of flavors that is both satisfying and enjoyable. Whether you're looking to impress guests or simply treat yourself, this recipe is a surefire winner. Enjoy a warm slice with a cup of coffee or tea, and savor the goodness in every bite.
