- ½ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter warmed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, peanut butter and vanilla extract until well blended, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the mashed bananas until well blended.

- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Notes
Recipe: This recipe is adapted from Broma Bakery. I used 1 egg instead of 2, added more bananas (1 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup), and used light brown sugar instead of granulated white sugar.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of canola oil, you can use any other neutral oil like coconut oil.
- Instead of light brown sugar, you can use granulated white sugar.
- Instead of all purpose flour, you can use whole wheat white flour.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
