Peanut Butter Banana Cake
This peanut butter banana cake is flourless and comes together in one bowl with only a few ingredients. It is naturally sweetened with banana and it won't last long in your house!
Servings: 8 cake bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup banana puree (from about 1 large or 2 small bananas)
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2-3 tbsp chocolate chips plus more to sprinkle on top (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Add the banana puree, peanut butter, egg, cinnamon, and baking powder to a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until incorporated.
- Pour this mixture into a parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Use a spatula to flatten and smooth out the top. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow it to cool completely before slicing it into bars.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- Make sure to use natural peanut butter that contains only peanuts (or peanuts and salt) as the ingredients.
- I used a 9 by 5 loaf pan for this recipe. Feel free to double the ingredients to make enough to fill a brownie pan!
- Add in extra add-ins for more texture and taste! Crushed nuts are a great mix-in option for added texture!
