Snickers Style Banana Bread

Are you tired of banana bread yet? I must admit I was a bit over it until I made this super delicious banana bread with dark chocolate, peanuts and peanut butter. Put your Sunday baking shoes on and give it a try.
It is so easy to make, requires only 10 ingredients, 1 mixing bowl and it’s oh so good. I made it back to back this week and broke my dessert only on weekends rule 😋….but it is totally worth it 😍

Ingredients :

• 3 large ripe spotty bananas
• 2 cups oat flour
• 2 tbsp peanut powder (Replace with more oat flour or corn starch if you don’t have this)
• 1 cup of creamy plant milk
• 2 tbsp organic brown, date or coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup of peanut butter
• 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate (or vegan chocolate chips)
• 1/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Optional:

• extra chocolate and peanuts on top
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanuts/peanut butter)

Method:

1- Preheat oven to 350 F/170 C.

2- In a large bowl, roughly mash bananas with a fork (keep some chunky bits!). Stir in peanut butter and sugar first, then plant milk.

3- Add baking powder, apple cider vinegar and oat flour and stir just until combined.

4- Fold in chopped peanuts and chocolate and fill the batter into the baking pan. Depending on which kind you are using, grease it with a little bit of coconut oil, lay out with baking paper or use a silicone pan to avoid sticking. Top with some extra crushed peanuts and chocolate and put in the oven (center rack).

5- Bake anywhere between 40 minutes to an hour depending on the size of your pan you are using. I used a smaller 8×4 pan because I wanted a ‘taller’ loaf and had to bake mine for the full 60 minutes. Slightly larger pans resulting in a flatter cake

6- will be done in 40-45 minutes. Use the tooth pick method to see if your banana bread is done. It should come out mostly clean when inserting in the middle.

Let cool down slightly before digging in and enjoy! 🐒

Tip:

For the oat flour I use quick cook oats and my coffee grinder to get extra fine oat flour. Add a drizzle of date syrup for even more deliciousness!
