Start by creaming softened butter with maple sugar and light brown sugar in a KitchenAid mixer.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed well.

Add peanut butter to the creamed mixture and mix until incorporated.

Add two eggs to the mixture and blend until smooth.

Incorporate vanilla extract and mashed ripe bananas into the mixture.

Mix together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour and cocoa powder by hand to avoid overmixing.

Fold in chocolate chips into the batter, optional to skip or substitute with toffee.

Prepare a glass baking pan by spraying it with vegetable oil.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
