Peanut butter swirl Banana bread
Description
This banana bread starts with creamed butter and sugar beaten until light, followed by eggs and mashed ripe bananas to provide moisture and sweetness. Vanilla extract adds aroma, while flour and baking powder give structure for a tender crumb. Separately, peanut butter is blended into a small portion of batter to create a contrasting swirl.
By dolloping the peanut butter-flavored batter onto the plain banana mixture and swirling gently, the bread develops a marbled visual and flavor effect without fully mixing. Baking at 180°C (356°F) for 50-60 minutes results in a golden crust and moist interior. Foil can be used if the loaf darkens too quickly.
Cooling in the pan before turning out preserves the loaf’s shape and enhances slicing. This banana bread balances fruity sweetness with rich peanut butter, delivering a textured crumb and concentrated peanut flavor ribbons.
Ingredients
- 125 g butter room temperature
- 200 g (1 cup) sugar
- 2 egg
- 350 g (approximately 3-4 large) banana approximately 4 large bananas, soft
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 g (2 cups) flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup peanut butter

- Place the plain banana bread batter in the prepared tin then dollop in the peanut butter-flavoured batter.
- With a knife or the back of a spoon, swirl the two batter together. Take care not to mix too much, you don't want the batters to blend together completely.
