Ohmygosh yes!! chocolate and peanut butter are seriously a match made in heaven 🙂 I think I have some kind of nut sensitivity, but I haven’t been able to figure out if peanuts or almonds are better for me yet. So frustrating! Love these other chocolate and peanut butter ideas too, especially the plantain bread sandwich. Can’t get enough of your plantain bread! 🙂 – D
thanks Dana! sorry about the nut issue, we hope you figure it out soon xoxo
Chocolate AND PB! WHOA! Another recipe to be made in my future! 🙂

Oh my goodness this looks beyond amazing! Can’t wait to try and make it! I’m wondering how it would turn out f I substituted PB2 for peanut butter. Hmm….
I’ve been following your blog for years but it’s the first time I make one of your recipes. I am so impressed about how GOOD this donut (muffin in my case!) is!! I live in Costa Rica so I can get really good organic plantains here. Looking forward to try out more recipes. Thanks a lot!!!
