Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by creaming sugar, softened butter, and part of the peanut butter until light and fluffy, which helps produce a tender crumb. Eggs, vanilla, and milk are incorporated before folding in flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mashed overripe bananas add moisture and natural sweetness. A peanut butter swirl created by piping and swirling the remaining peanut butter on top creates a marbled effect and intensifies the peanut flavor.
Once baked at a moderate temperature until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the bread offers a balance of fruity sweetness from bananas and creamy richness from peanut butter. This loaf works well for breakfast or a snack, pairing well with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup peanut butter divided, creamy
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 banana overripe and mashed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper, then set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the sugar, butter, and ¼ cup peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and milk, and mix until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until just combined. Fold in the mashed bananas and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
- Scoop the remaining ¼ cup peanut butter into a ziplock bag, and cut the corner off the bag. Pipe three lines of peanut butter across the top of the batter, then drag a toothpick or skewer through the batter to swirl the peanut butter.
- Bake 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
