Easy 5-ingredient Chunky Monkey Pull Apart Bread | Vegan, Dairy Free (2024)

Apr 26, 2018

What’s got bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter, and is both super easy to makeand eat?

Chunky Monkey Pull Apart Bread! A loaf made of layers of dough, filled with sweet bananas, rich peanut butter, and decadent chocolate chips.

You can’t say “no” to a second (or third) piece of this deliciousness… but that’s totally okay… this easy, five-ingredient recipe is dairy free, vegan, and doesn’t have any added sugar!

Thanks to Immaculate Baking Co. for sponsoring this post, and thank YOU for supporting the brands that keep Desserts With Benefits going! All opinions are mine and mine alone.

This Pull Apart Loaf was inspired by Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream. You know, the one with bananas, chocolate chunks, and walnuts? But here I used peanut butter instead of walnuts. And I made this treat dairy free, vegan, and low sugar while I was at it. A far cry from that nanner ice cream, which has 1,200 calories, 72g of fat, and a whopping 112g of sugar per pint!! That means there’s nearly ⅔ cup of sugar in a single pint, which, let’s be real, we can all eat in one sitting. I mean, I exclusively eat ice cream by the pint (thanks to healthier options nowadays)… I don’t remember the last time Ididn’t eat an entire pint.

But anyways, THIS PULL APART BREAD. Unquestionably one of the most addicting things I have ever stuffed into my pie hole. Compared side-by-side with that pint ofBen & Jerry’s, thisloaf definitely wins.

ThisChunky Monkey Pull Apart Bread is unquestionably one of the most addicting things you’ll ever eat.

And while this loaf probably seems time-consuming or difficult to make, it’s actually super quick and easy! You start off with a tube of Immaculate Baking Co.’s organic flaky biscuits. Unlike other brands of biscuit dough, Immaculate Baking Co. doesn’t use any yucky ingredients like bleached flour, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, and artificial flavors, so you know the base of this recipe is already off to a good start. Just pop open the tube, separate the biscuits, and split the biscuits in half. Then, you mash some bananas, mix it with natural peanut butter and a dash of vanilla to create a nana-nut “jam” of sorts. Roll out the biscuits into rounds about double their original size, spread on the “jam,” sprinkle with chocolate chips, and start layering it in a loaf pan with sliced bananas! Once the loaf pan is filled, toss a few chocolate chips on top and get your masterpiece in the oven.

Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Bananas come together to create the tastiest, most addictive Pull Apart Bread you thought you could only dream of.

Who needs chunky monkey ice cream with a cherry on top when you’ve got this Chunky Monkey Pull Apart Bread with chocolate chips inside AND on top?

Because chocolate will always beat a cherry on top. Amirite?

Here’s a little recipe “step-by-step” for ya:

To send this Pull Apart Bread over the top, serve it alongside warmed, drippy peanut butter, melted dark chocolate, and freshly sliced bananas!
