  • 3 medium bananas mashed
  • ½ cup powdered peanut butter to keep calories and fat content low, or normal peanut butter
  • 2 cups light spelt flour or plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup dark/semi sweet chocolate chips

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a loaf cake pan with cooking oil spray, wiping over the excess with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until light in colour and creamy. Beat in the eggs and beat well until combined. Add the mashed banana, powdered (or normal) peanut butter, flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and honey and stir gently until batter is combined, but don't over beat.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf cake pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until firm to the touch and cooked through when tested with a toothpick.
  • Cool in the tin for 15 - 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make frosting: combine all topping ingredients together (it helps when the water is warm), and mix until smooth. Add tablespoon amounts of extra water to reach the consistency you like.

Notes

Be sure not to over beat the batter, or you'll have a dense, chewy bread instead of a light and fluffy loaf.
