Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Step 4
Add the peanut butter, melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
