I’m going to start off by admitting that while I love to experiment in the kitchen, baking is not my forte. But a few weeks ago, I had some extra ripe bananas laying around and decided to salvage them with a somewhat beginner-friendly recipe. It’s not exactly banana bread, but instead a mash up of several recipes and also a dash of improvisation. This is a flourless recipe and uses maple syrup and honey as sweeteners. The texture resembles more of a dense pudding or loaf, making this a decadent treat to enjoy for dessert or alongside your morning coffee. Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate chips and nuts to your liking! And while peanut butter and banana make the perfect pairing, you could also substitute the peanut butter for almond butter instead.
