Now I may be a little biased here as one of my most favorite childhood treats was my grandma BK’s banana bread slathered with peanut butter and sprinkled with a few chocolate chips. Seriously, so good! And this Salted Peanut Chocolate Banana Bread recipe has all of that; peanuts, chocolate and ripe bananas baked to perfection…but without all of the sugar!
That’s right! Salted Peanut Chocolate Banana Bread is low in sugar, too.
This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and low in sugar. Many banana bread recipes, like my grandma BK’s (which is delicious and I do still enjoy it every once in awhile because #foodfreedom), calls for a whole cup of white sugar and as a result you end up with 30 g (7.5 tsp) of sugar or more per serving. Yikes! But not this recipe that I’m sharing today. I’ve eliminated the sugar all together. The three ripe bananas that this recipe calls for provides just enough sweetness. In addition, there is just a little bit of honey in the Wholeme Salted Peanut Clusters that I used in this recipe that also adds a nice touch of sweet. One thick slice of this bread comes in at just 7 grams of sugar and most of that being natural sugar from the bananas. The more ripe (brown/black) the bananas the sweeter the bread.
It’s time to introduce the MVP in our Salted Peanut Chocolate Banana Bread.
If you haven’t heard the news, Wholeme just launched their brand new flavor, Salted Peanut Chocolate Clusters and its out of this world delicious…and I’m NOT even exaggerating! Ummmm…can you say Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup?! Folks, you’ve go to get your hands on this stuff!
We were one of the very first to sample this NEW flavor!
Jess and I had the lovely opportunity this past November to meet the ever-so-kind people behind the company and tour the facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota where all of the Wholeme magic happens. Lucky for us, we just so happened to visit on the same day they were perfecting this new flavor which allowed us to be one of the very first to sample it. Woot! As a lover of peanut butter, you bet I was thrilled about this new flavor! While all of the Wholeme flavors our perfectly tasty and they all taste great on their own or simply served with coconut milk or Greek yogurt, it’s always fun to get creative in the kitchen. The first thing that came to my mind when brainstorming a recipe I could create was to replace the nuts and chocolate chips in my go-to Grain-free Banana Bread Muffin recipe with new Salted Peanut Chocolate Wholeme flavor and turn it into a bread. So I went with it and the results were…well, I will let you be your own judge! 😉 Looking for another delicious recipe to make with Wholeme? Try our Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait recipe that’s made with Almond Coconut Wholeme.
So grab a bag of Wholeme and give this Salted Peanut Chocolate Banana Bread a try! And don’t forget to slather it with peanut butter before eating.
With only 7 grams of sugar per slice, this bread is healthy enough to enjoy as part of your breakfast and decadent enough to serve at a special gathering with friends and/or family.
