Questo Pane alla banana con cioccolato e burro di arachidi is a super moist chocolate banana bread with a lovely peanut butter flavor. It’s also an egg-free chocolate banana bread, 100% vegan-friendly.
We love vegan banana bread, like my easy Pane alla banana con 3 ingredienti, Pane all'avena e banana, o Pane alla banana con 4 ingredienti, but my kids love even more when it’s loaded in chocolate! So I had to come up with a rich, chocolate-based banana bread recipe.
I shared recently my pane alle zucchine e cioccolato that was very similar in texture but didn’t include peanut butter, and since zucchini are not available all year-round, I needed to have a recipe that we (and you!) can make any season. Peanut butter is a great plant-based protein that is also flavorsome when combined with banana and chocolate. So let’s see how to make this vegan chocolate banana bread with peanut butter.
Ingredienti e sostituzioni

All you need to make this simple chocolate bread are:
- Banane mature – Use ripe bananas with black spots on their skins. These are the best banana to make banana recipes of any kind because they are so much more sweet and flavorsome.
- Zucchero Di Cocco – or any crystal sweetener you love, including white sugar or brown sugar. I personally like the flavor of coconut sugar in this chocolate bread. It has a nice earthy caramel-like flavor.
- Olio d'oliva leggero or any oil you have at home, including canola oil or coconut oil.
- Burro di arachidi – use natural peanut butter with no added oil and no added sugar for the best results.
- Cacao in polvere non zuccherato – I prefer using unsweetened cocoa to make it easier to balance the sweetness.
- Latte di mandorle non zuccherato or any non-dairy milk you love. Coconut milk will give the bread a coconutty taste, but soy, cashew, or oat milk are perfect.
- Farina XNUMX – Per una versione senza glutine, usa la mia guida alla conversione senza glutine.
- Lievito in polvere and Bicarbonato di sodio – This is key to giving the bread a light texture.
- Cannella Macinata – Per insaporire.
- Estratto di vaniglia – vanilla brings out the chocolate flavors.
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
This is the easiest chocolate bread ever. Let me share with you my tips to make it moist, chocolatey, and so good! It’s in fact the chocolate version of my pane vegano alla banana.

- First, peel and mash the bananas with a fork until it forms a puree. Measure the amount required by the recipe filling measuring cups. It matters to measure bananas precisely to prevent your bread from being too dry or too wet.

- Stir the mashed bananas with peanut butter, vanilla extract, and olive oil in a mixing bowl.
- Then when the mixture is evenly combined, stir in almond milk and coconut sugar.

- Next, in another bowl, whisk the remaining dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine evenly and remove any lumps the flour or cocoa powder may have formed. Set it aside.

- Finally, combine the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until combined. Don’t over mix the batter to avoid gummy bread.

- Fold in chocolate chips at the end and stir to incorporate.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with lightly oiled parchment paper.

- Fill the loaf pan with the batter and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake the chocolate banana bread on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. You can tent the loaf pan with a piece of foil after 30 minutes to prevent the top from browning too fast.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and pull the bread out of the pan using the hanging pieces of parchment paper.
- Release it on a cooling rack and let it cool down for 3 hours before slicing.
Servire
I love to decorate this chocolate bread with a drizzle of fresh peanut butter, melted dark chocolate, and extra chocolate chips.
You can serve the slice of bread plain or with extra toppings like:
- Almond butter or Peanut butter
- Fette di banana
- Arachidi schiacciate
- With a scoop of Gelato all'avocado
- Sliced with Panna montata vegana
Archiviazione
This bread can be stored for a few days at room temperature but lasts longer if stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Slice just before serving to preserve the bread’s moist texture.

Domande frequenti
No, the bread has no eggs, and low-carb flour won’t work in this recipe.
Absolutely, you can divide the amount of sugar by half but keep in mind that this chocolate bread will be slightly bitter with less sweetener.
In fact, the chocolate flavor is added by unsweetened cocoa powder. It’s a naturally bitter ingredient that needs sweeteners to mask its bitterness.

Pane alla banana con cioccolato e burro di arachidi
Ingredienti
- 1 bicchiere Banane mature schiacciate - equivalente a 4 banane grandi e mature, con macchie nere sulla buccia
- ⅓ bicchiere Burro di arachidi (non salato)
- ⅓ bicchiere Olio d'oliva dal sapore delicato - o olio di colza
- ½ bicchiere Latte di mandorle non zuccherato
- ½ bicchiere Zucchero Di Cocco - o qualsiasi zucchero semolato che preferisci
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia
- ½ cucchiaino da tè Sale
- 1 bicchiere Farina XNUMX - (nota 1)
- ½ bicchiere Cacao in polvere non zuccherato
- 2 cucchiaini Lievito in polvere
- ½ cucchiaino da tè Bicarbonato di sodio
- 2 cucchiaini Cannella
Opzionale
- ½ bicchiere Gocce di cioccolato fondente senza lattosio
Istruzioni
- Preriscalda il forno a 180 °C. Fodera uno stampo da plumcake di 23 x 13 cm con carta da forno. Ungi leggermente la carta e lo stampo con olio spray o olio di cocco. Metti da parte.
- In una ciotola capiente, schiacciate le banane mature con uno schiacciapatate, una forchetta o la frusta piatta della planetaria. Schiacciate fino a ottenere un composto quasi completamente liscio e senza grumi, per una consistenza morbidissima. Misurate 1 tazza e 1/2 tazza di banane schiacciate; se ne avanzano, congelatele per un uso successivo.
- Stir the peanut butter, olive oil, vanilla extract. When the mixture is consistent stir in almond milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Set aside.
- In un'altra ciotola, mescolate la farina, il cacao amaro in polvere, il lievito in polvere, il bicarbonato di sodio e la cannella.
- Incorporare gli ingredienti secchi a quelli liquidi e mescolare con un cucchiaio di legno o una spatola di silicone fino a ottenere un impasto omogeneo.
- Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
- Trasferite l'impasto nello stampo da plumcake precedentemente preparato e cuocete nel ripiano centrale del forno finché uno stecchino inserito al centro del dolce non esce pulito – circa 50-55 minuti. Dopo 30 minuti, potete coprire lo stampo con un foglio di alluminio per evitare che il banana bread si scurisca troppo velocemente.
- Cool down on a wire rack for 2-3 hours before slicing.
- Decorate con un filo di cioccolato fondente fuso e, se lo desiderate, con altro burro di arachidi fresco.
Archiviazione
- Conservare a temperatura ambiente per un massimo di 3 giorni oppure in frigorifero in un contenitore ermetico per un massimo di 5 giorni. Può essere congelato e scongelato il giorno prima a temperatura ambiente.














Just made this for the first time- it’s a heavenly loaf of bread. Chocolate and peanut butter- what’s not to love!

That’s amazing! I love the gluten-free version of this one too.
Can I use oat flour making this recipe! Or other plant based flour, I can’t use gluten flour, thanks.
No, it won’t hold with oat flour.
Hello! Thank you for this recipe, i just made it today the first time. It is good, although i cannot really take the banana and the cinnamon in it, however it is not a problem. My question is, as i am planning to bake this for a charity bake sale, can this be done in muffin forms or other similar portions to make it easier to sell? 🙂 TYSM:)
Sure, you can bake it in a muffin pan. It will bake faster, probably around 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of one muffin, if it come out wet, keep baking by extra 5 minutes. Regarding the cinnamon, you can skip it or increase if you want to taste it more.
