Method

STEP 1
Butter a 2 litre baking dish and heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Melt the butter and peanut butter together in a pan until runny and smooth.
STEP 2
Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder together in a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas well, then whisk with the eggs and milk. Tip into the dry ingredients with the nutty butter and stir together until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chunks and pour into the baking dish.
STEP 3
For the sauce, mix 250ml of boiling water into the peanut butter, followed by the sugar and cocoa. Pour all over the top of the pudding, then sprinkle over the chopped salted peanuts. Carefully lift onto the middle shelf and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is risen and crisp.
STEP 4
Serve immediately, with cream or ice cream.
