Servings: persons

3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1 cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temp)
1 tablespoon milk
2 eggs
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cocoa powder (use the darkest cocoa powder you can find)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup stout beer
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (these go in the bread)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (these get drizzled on top)

1
First, preheat your oven to 325.
2
Cream together your butter and sugar, then mix in the eggs one at a time.
3
Get a small bowl and mash together the bananas, milk, peanut butter, and stout. Ignore the fact that it looks like a bowl full of puke; it's gonna taste delicious as hell in a minute.
4
Get another small bowl and whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and spices.
5
Mix the bowl of banana sludge into your creamed butter/sugar on low, then do the same for the dry stuff. You want to mix it just until the dry stuff is fully mixed in; don't overdo it.
6
Stir in a 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
7
Spray whatever loaf pan you have handy with some nonstick, pour the batter in there, and stick it in the oven for about an hour. Once it's passed the toothpick test you're good to go.
8
Let the bread cool down on a cooling rack until it gets to room temperature.
9
Melt the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave about 15 seconds at a time, until they're fully melted. Then take a spoon and drizzle it on top of the banana bread.
10
Give the chocolate a couple of minutes to harden, and then eat a big slice of the stuff

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
