Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Description
The Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe merges mashed ripe bananas with melted butter and natural peanut butter, creating a rich and moist base. The batter includes a mix of granulated and light brown sugar, providing sweetness and depth. Baking soda and salt leaven and enhance flavor, while optional chocolate chips and roasted peanuts contribute varied textures and richness.
Baked at 350°F in a greased loaf pan, the bread develops a golden crust with a soft interior. Checking with a toothpick inserted ensures perfect doneness without dryness. Cooling completely before removing preserves the loaf's shape and texture.
This banana bread works well as a comforting breakfast or convenient snack. It stores well at room temperature and can be sliced for sandwiches or accompanied by spreads like butter or jam for variety.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 3 large banana ripe
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup butter cooled slightly, melted
- ½ cup peanut butter natural
- 1 cup chocolate chips optional
- 1 cup peanuts chopped; roasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 5x9 loaf pan with butter. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, both sugars, baking soda, and salt.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl then mix in the eggs, melted butter, and peanut butter.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined. If using, add the chocolate dips and peanut and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan then bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Check the loaf after 45 minutes and tent it with foil if it's getting too brown on the top. Let the banana bread cool completely before removing it from the pan.
