Flourless Banana Bread
Some recipes are so simple, you don’t expect much… and this banana bread is exactly that.
I love how the bananas and peanut butter come together. Simple ingredients, but such a good result.
It’s one of those recipes you make once and keep coming back to.
Why You’ll Love This Flourless Banana Bread
This flourless banana bread is soft, naturally sweet, and packed with rich peanut butter flavor in every bite. Since it’s made without regular flour, the texture stays extra moist and slightly fudgy while still feeling light and satisfying.
I also love how simple the recipe is — just a few ingredients mixed together into a comforting homemade loaf.
The Ingredients That Make This Banana Bread So Good
- Bananas: Add natural sweetness and keep the bread incredibly moist.
- Peanut butter: Replaces flour and butter while adding richness and protein.
- Eggs: Help bind the loaf together and create structure.
- Baking powder: Gives the banana bread a lighter texture.
- Dark chocolate: Adds richness and balances the sweetness of the bananas.
Helpful Tips Before You Start Baking
- Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and softest texture.
- Mix the batter just until smooth.
- Add only half the chocolate inside and sprinkle the rest on top for better texture.
- Let the loaf cool before slicing so it holds together properly.
- Use natural drippy peanut butter for the best consistency.
The Best Way to Store Flourless Banana Bread
Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For the best texture, warm slices slightly before serving.
You can also freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.

Why is my banana bread too soft in the middle?
It usually needs a little more baking time. Every oven bakes differently, so check the center with a toothpick.
