Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix slightly melted peanut butter and sugar until smooth, then add mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and eggs, beating until integrated.
  3. In another bowl, whisk cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold in the flour gently to retain fluffiness.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top, and optionally add banana slices on top.
  5. Bake for about 55 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool the loaf in the pan for about 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Melt additional creamy peanut butter and drizzle over the cooled bread before serving.
