For the candied bacon:

  • 9 to 10 bacon slices
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

For the banana bread:

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, plus more for garnish
  • 1 1/2 plus cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 large ripe bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

To make the candied bacon:

  1. In a fry pan cook bacon on a low heat, rendering out as much fat as possible. Once all of the bacon is cooked, drain the pan of the bacon grease and put all of the bacon slices back into the pan.
  2. Add the brown sugar, tossing to evenly distribute the sugar. Continue to cook on a low heat until the sugar granules dissolve and begin to caramelize, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. Remove the bacon, caramel sauce and all, to a plate and let it cool completely. When cooled down, cut the bacon into chunks or bite sized pieces. Set aside.

To make the banana bread:

  1. Preheat oven 350°F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Combine chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour, tossing to coat, set aside.
  3. In a bowl whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
  4. In another bowl whisk together mashed bananas, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, oil, sour cream, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until completely mixed together.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until there are no visible streaks of flour. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist, not wet, crumbs.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze and assemble the bread:

  1. In a bowl whisk peanut butter, honey, and powdered sugar together.
  2. Pour glaze over cooled bread. Top with candied bacon and chocolate. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
