Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Filled Chocolate Banana Bread

11

A banana bread like no other you’ve had before. It is beyond words and super easy to make. I never knew something so wonderful could happen to me lol. The chocolate banana bread is so deliciously rich and the peanut butter is this sweet creamy amazingness. Please get on this!

Ingredients:

You want to start by making the peanut butter filling so that it can sit in the refrigerator for a while to firm up. You can use brown sugar or white sugar. Make sure your cream cheese is softened and your peanut butter is all natural and room temperature as well.

I predominantly bake with avocado oil because it is neutral in flavor and yields a very moist bread/loaf/muffins. Obviously butter tastes the best, but I think avocado oil is the better healthy choice for me. You can also use white sugar instead of brown sugar.
