Ingredients
For the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I used a combination of regular and dark)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Banana Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 bananas (very ripe)
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake filling:
- Place the cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter, cocoa, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until well-incorporated and fluffy.
To make the Banana Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and mist a 1.5-quart loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Peel the bananas and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
- Mash them with a fork until only a few small lumps remain.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Gently fold the liquid ingredients into the dry, until just barely combined.
- Place about 2/3 of the batter in the prepared pan.
- Layer with the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake filling, then top with the remaining banana bread batter.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool slightly in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
