CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• For the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the cake mix, oil, mashed bananas, eggs and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer or whisk until well blended, about 2 minutes. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Evenly divide the batter between the 2 prepared loaf pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool on a cooling rack.
• For the peanut butter glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of the warm milk in a bowl and whisk until smooth. It should be about as thick as pancake batter; if it's too thick, just add a little more milk.
• Pour some of the glaze over each loaf and let set for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

CHOCOLATY PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of two loaf pans; set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl stir together the eggs, bananas, sugar, peanut butter, and milk.
• Stir in the flour just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
• Fold in chocolate pieces and peanuts or pecans.
• Spoon batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake in a 350°F oven about 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Remove loaves from pans.
• Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Wrap and store overnight for easier slicing.
• **If you do not have self-rising flour, substitute with 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda.

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!
