This Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Quick Bread is perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack.
Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread - a healthy and delicious breakfast bread or snack

Imagine a banana dipped in peanut butter and chocolate. That’s what this quick bread is all about. Swirls of chocolate batter and peanut butter batter run throughout this banana bread. Pure yumminess. Recently, I bought a jar of powdered organic peanut butter. Powdered peanut butter has 90% less fat than traditional peanut butter (1 gram fat versus 16-18 grams fat in 2 tablespoons peanut butter) and 80% fewer calories (40 calories versus 200 calories in 2 tablespoons peanut butter).

This is a great twist on regular old banana bread. I had six overripe bananas laying around that needed to be used up (you can freeze or refrigerate ripe bananas and save them for this quick bread). I made a regular batch of banana bread batter, then divided it into three bowls, mixing cocoa powder into one, and powdered peanut butter into another.

Next, I divided the banana bread batter between two loaf pans, then dropped dollops of chocolate and peanut butter batter on top.

All three batters were then swirled together with a wide blade knife (a sandwich knife or dinner knife both work).

What you’ll end up with is a rich, dense banana chocolate peanut butter loaf that is perfect for breakfast or a snack.

    What a perfect and delicious way to spread the love! Not to mention, it’s quite the looker ;). I can just imagine people oohing and aahing. Love the addition of avocado oil too! I normally use it for savory applications, but I’ll def have to try this!

    Could you substitute 4 cups of whole wheat flour instead of the 2 cups almond and 2 cups oat – if not needing to be gluten free?

      Kelly – yes, whole wheat flour can be substituted, although you might try white whole wheat flour which is lighter (it’s white Spring wheat versus traditional red wheat) and milder tasting.

    How would it be with all almond flour or would that be too dense of a bread?

      I have made quick breads with 100% almond flour before and it’s worked fine. Let me know if you try it.

    Hi Jeanette! Would so love to try this recipe! However, I don’t think I can find powdered peanut butter where I am, so how much of regular peanut butter from a jar should I use instead? Thanks!

    We have had this recipe pinned for some time. Today, I enlisted a helper to bake with my son so I could write, write, write…My helper became confused because the recipe ingredients call for avocadoe oil but the directions say coconut oil….????

      Hi Joan – thanks for your note. I’ve edited the recipe – I think I probably used avocado oil one time and coconut oil another time – you can use either one or whatever your preferred oil is.
