Ingredients
  

For the Mocha Peanut Butter Banana Bread:

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup peanut butter smooth or chunky—your call
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup brewed espresso cooled
  • 1 tsp instant coffee optional for extra punch
  • ½ cup chocolate chips because why not?

For the Topping (Optional but Delicious):

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter melted for drizzle
  • 1 tbsp brewed espresso for that extra coffee kick

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the loaf pan.
  • Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the banana mixture. Add espresso and instant coffee. Stir until smooth.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, testing with a toothpick—when it comes out clean, you’re golden.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Drizzle the peanut butter topping over the cooled bread.
  • Slice and devour—don’t forget your coffee.
