Bake this simple, moist peanut butter banana bread loaf. It combines ripe bananas and creamy peanut butter for a flavorful quick bread perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for mixing in or topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you just combine the flour. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If you want a swirl or topping, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top now.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • If you want a peanut butter swirl, reserve 1/4 cup of the batter, mix it with 2 tablespoons of extra peanut butter, and gently swirl it into the main batter in the pan before baking.
  • This bread pairs well with coffee or as a simple dessert. If you are looking for structured eating plans, consider looking into meal planning services.
