Tasty, but the texture needs fixing

  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 20g of brown sugar (to whisk the egg whites)
  • 40-50g of coconut blossom sugar
  • 60g of peanut butter
  • 100g of butter
  • 160g of flour
  • 1/2 sachet of baking powder
  • 60g of dark chocolate (chips, 51% cocoa) - base recipe 150g
  • (optional) 2 tablespoons of rum

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180° C
  2. Sauté the bananas - cut into rounds - in a little butter, let them cool
  3. Mix the two sugars with the eggs, until pale
  4. Add the flour and the baking powder, then the melted butter. Add the rum and the chocolate roughly chopped into chips
  5. Add the well-cooled bananas (so they don’t melt the chocolate)
  6. Pour the batter into a (buttered) loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes
