Banana bread with peanut butter, dates and chocolate

This banana bread is made with ripe bananas, blended with eggs, baking powder, dates and peanut butter. It's delicious to use bananas in healthier desserts as they add a natural sweetness. For example, try these healthy cookies, the eternally good banana pancakes or healthy muffins, made with ripe bananas. You can also try using ripe bananas to make a crunchy and delicious banana granola. In addition to bananas, banana bread gets its sweetness from dates. The dates add just a little extra sweetness and make the bread extra juicy. This way, it is possible to make banana bread without sugar. The peanut butter replaces flour in the recipe, and it gives the bread a discreet flavor. If you don't like peanut butter, you can easily use almond butter instead. The recipe uses a generous amount of chopped dark chocolate in the banana bread. It can easily be omitted, but why? ;-)

Banana bread with bananas on top

If you have an extra ripe banana lying around in the fruit bowl, you can spread it over the dough before putting it in the oven. For example, split it lengthwise so that you get two half bananas, and place them carefully on the surface. You can also cut it into slices and arrange them on the surface, for example together with a little chopped dark chocolate. When the bananas on top of the bread are baked, they caramelize slightly, and it simply tastes so delicious.

Tips for the best banana bread

If you find that your banana bread collapses after it comes out of the oven, try the following tips:

• Bake the banana bread a little longer. It is important that it is baked in the middle so that it holds its shape after baking. 
• Check that your baking powder is fresh. If the container is too old, it can affect the leavening effect.
• Make sure the dough is blended completely until it is completely smooth. There should be no lumps of peanut butter or dates, as this will make the dough too heavy and may collapse.
