Ingredients

  • 3-4 Ripe bananas(3 large or 4 medium)
  • 1/3 Cup Vegan butter, melted
  • 1/4 Cup Apple sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Peanut butter
  • 1 Cup Cane sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Non-dairy milk
  • 1 1/2 Cups All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Dark chocolate chunks or chips, vegan

Peanut Butter Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 Cup Peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees(F).
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, add your bananas. Now, whip and mash the bananas with the paddle attachment for the stand mixer or using a hand mixer.
  • Once the bananas are mashed well, add in the vegan butter and beat them together.
  • Now add the apple sauce, vanilla and peanut butter. Beat again until combined.
  • Then add the cane sugar and beat until combined.
  • Last add the non-dairy milk and continue to beat until fully combined and the wet ingredients are pretty smooth. Set aside.
  • Now, in a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda and salt.
  • Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time, beat together the whole time until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. And the batter is smooth.
  • Fold the chocolate chunks into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into an 8 or 9 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth out evenly.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
  • Let the loaf cool completely, then make the glaze. Add all the glaze ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl, and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled bread, and spread out evenly. Let the glaze firm up.
  • Slice and serve as is, or chill in the fridge and warm when ready to eat.
