- 2 medium (about 240g) ripe bananas, peeled & mashed
- 1 medium (about 250g) cooked sweet potato, peeled & mashed
- 0.75 cup (190g) natural creamy peanut butter (drippy)
- 2 large large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp baking powder

👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat Oven & Prep Loaf Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang 'wings' on the sides for effortless lifting later.
Mash Bananas & Sweet Potato
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ripe bananas and cooked sweet potato. Mash thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth and velvety.
Whisk Wet Batter
Add the natural peanut butter, room temperature eggs, and baking powder to the bowl. Stir or whisk vigorously until the batter is completely smooth and homogenous.
Fold in Walnuts & Dark Chocolate
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips, reserving a small tablespoon of each for garnishing the top.
Transfer to Pan & Garnish
Pour the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Scatter the reserved walnuts and chocolate chunks across the top.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the center rack for 50–55 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake crumb (avoiding melted chocolate chunks) comes out clean.
Cool, Drizzle & Slice
Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for at least 20–30 minutes before removing. Drizzle with a spoonful of warm peanut butter if desired, slice into thick pieces, and enjoy warm or chilled!
🍰 Storing & Chilling Desserts
Refrigeration: Keep covered in an airtight container or under a cake dome in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
Serving Tip: For the richest flavor and silkiest mouthfeel, allow refrigerated bakes to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
