And if you don’t like peanut butter, chocolate AND banana all in one sentence, then whaaaatttt? That combination was my all time favourite breakfast on toast. Or bread. Or crackers. Anything I could find in the cupboard raiding my house — smearing peanut butter on it — sprinkling chocco chips on it — and drizzling a leeeedle honey on it — to make the perfect concoction of all time. And you guys may remember, I kinda already hit the peanut butter chocolate craving with Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Brownies, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Crepes and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies. Then, there are all of those Banana chocolate peanut butter infusions with that fudg-y-licious Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread, and those Banana Blondies with peanut butter and chocolate chips recipes. Yes. I’m an addict. This Banana Bread was a mix of fluffy cake and bread; just how I wanted it.
And adding chocolate chips to anything soothes the soul and makes everything better.

Well. I’m in love. This would have to be the best present I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you husband. Which one is it? The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens. And taking shots with it is a dreeeeam! The reason I mention it it because I get so many messages on my Instagram page and through this blog about what lens, camera and lighting I use, so I thought I’d cover it here quickly before moving on to the best Banana Bread of mankind.
I use natural light next to a window. That’s it. No lighting set up. I love natural light.
Anyway — back to this CAKE! Ohhhhh this cake!
The peanut butter flavour is so smooth and comes through in the perfect amount in this bread/cake/concoction.
The subtleness of the honey, and the richness of the chocolate, and the chocolate peanut butter topping is just oh-so-rediculous!
What makes this special is the powdered peanut butter, but having said that, you can totally make this with regular peanut butter. Totally. … Read More
