These Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cakes are the perfect coffee break treat or breakfast! Moist, flavourful & so easy to make, they will become an instant favorite.
Wholewheat Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake that's quite a mouthful, right? Yes, it is.
A chunky, hearty cake with enough peanut butter to make sure it sticks to the roof of your mouth! So not your "light as air" cake for sure. The abundance of dark chocolate chips scattered all over, make sure every bite is gooey and very gratifying.
Do use ripe bananas for your baking. The spottier the bananas, the sweeter and more flavourful they get apart from making the cakes super moist.
I made these cakes twice last week. Once with a combination of whole wheat and amaranth flours and the next time with just whole-wheat flour. The recipe given below is the latter version, though both were really delicious and we couldn't pick which one we liked better. By all means, do try the half & half version. I'd love to hear all about your experiments with alternate flours.
