This one is a keeper for sure!! I love baking up loaves, especially now the summer is slowly coming to and end and fall will be on the way. Chocolate and peanut butter always go hand in hand in my kitchen and this loaf does not disappoint! The drizzled peanut butter topping is just like the icing on cake to finish it off 🙂 Makes 10 slices at only 4 smart points each.

    Could I used Chocolate PB2 in this recipe? This looks fantastic! heading to the store for ingredients.

      Mine is the Fry’s Cocoa, it does not say unsweetened, but the sugar count is 0g..

    I made this on Sunday and Oh my goodness SO GOOD. My husband loved it. Definitely worth the points and worth making again.

      Hi Kathy, so glad both you and your husband enjoyed it 🙂

    If the 2 bananas are 4 sps, and this recipe serves 10, then I suppose each serving would be 4.4 or rounded to 5 to be safe. I think I will make this and divide it up and freeze the remainder so that I don’t overdo. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes.

      I’m not sure what your asking, the banana’s have no point value in the recipe , or do you mean 2 servings is more than 8 points?

    Looks so good! You have a real talent for food we eat with our eyes and that stays low in points. Thank you. Do you have a Pinterest board I can follow?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Lisa, thank you! 🙂 Yes I do, just search drizzle me skinny on Pinterest and you will find me

  5. If I put this in small muffin tins for 10 muffins (l don’t cut evenly!), how long should they bake?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, you mean regular sized muffins right? For mini muffins you will get way more than 10, reg sized muffins I would try 20 minutes and go from there

  6. Any suggestions on what to substitute for bananas (food allergy)? Can i add extra applesauce?

    Thanks!!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, yes you can try, it might change the overall texture/taste

    Made this yesterday and pretty much everyone loved it. Only issue was it was on the borderland dry. I’m guessing I left it in the oven a little to long.

      Hi Jeffery, so glad everyone enjoyed it, could be a baking issue or maybe the banana’s you used were a little smaller, you can add in a pinch more applesauce next time to see if that helps

        I substituted Lily’s chocolate chips, PB2 and Swerve brown sugar replacement to reduce the points down to 2pp on blue!!

  8. Lori Heroux Reply

    I’m assuming when you say brown sugar you mean sugar alternatives like swerve?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, no I mean brown sugar .. I do not use sugar alternatives but feel free to swap it out if you’d prefer
