Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped peanuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for an easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. A few small chunks are fine.
Add the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no dry streaks of flour remain.
If desired, fold in the chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for an added crunch or a touch of sweetness.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter N Banana Bread with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the perfect treat!
