• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat together the peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until smooth.

• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and bake until the bread is golden brown and has split at the top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack. (You can tent the bread with foil if it begins to brown too quickly.)
• For the glaze: When the bread has cooled, combine the peanut butter, butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the glaze sit until it has stiffened up a bit but is still spreadable. Spread over the top of the bread, and sprinkle the peanuts on top. Let sit for 10 minutes to set up before slicing. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

PEANUT BUTTER & DARK CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the caster sugar with the flour in a bowl until you are left with a smooth and consistent butter sugar mix, with minimal lumps. Pre-heat the oven to 180c.
• Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, adding to the butter sugar mix with the flour and mix all the ingredients together.
• In another bowl, mush two bananas until smooth, add the peanut butter (and Nutella if you're substituting for the dark chocolate chunks). Mix until smooth and add to the butter-flour-eggs mix.
• Add the baking powder to the mix and stir until smooth.
• Prep your cake tin with butter, spreading around the tin to act as a glue. Next, add greaseproof paper and apply more butter inside to stop the mix from sticking after the bake.
• Add the batter, making sure you get all of it into the tin. In a grid-like manner, add squares of your dark chocolate and submerge just below the surface so that they're only just visible. This will mean that they're gooey and in the middle of the cake once baked.
• Slice the last banana and add to the top of the mix in the tin on top of the chocolate grid. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and place in the middle of the oven.
• Leave to bake for 30-35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking as it may sink. Keep an eye on it to ensure it's not burning. Leave to rest for an hour after baking, then remove from the tin to air for another 30. Slice and enjoy!
