Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Peanut Butter Banana Bread – moist, tender banana bread made with creamy peanut butter and loaded with chocolate chips! Great use of those over ripe bananas on your counter!

There is something about a good banana bread recipe that everyone just loves. And don’t get me wrong, I like traditional banana bread, but when you add peanut butter it takes it to a whole new delicious level!

Peanut butter just might be one of my favorite foods, and it goes so well with bananas adding it to the bread seemed like a no brainer.

If you are anything like me, you always end up with that one banana at the end of the week that didn’t get eaten. It doesn’t seem to matter how many I buy, there is always one that just sits there. So I freeze them until I am ready to bake!

To Freeze Bananas – take off the peel and place bananas in a freezer safe plastic bag. Then just throw it in the freezer and you can take them out for baking or to throw in a Mixed Berry Smoothie.

How To Make Peanut Butter Banana Bread

  1. Get a loaf pan ready by greasing it really well and then coating it in flour, or placing a piece of parchment paper on the inside. Getting bread out can be tricky, so you want to make sure you have your pan really well coated.
  2. In a bowl whisk together your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl mix together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, canola oil, egg, sugar and brown sugar until it is nice and smooth.
  4. Then add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
  7. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool. After 20 minutes, you can remove from pan, and place directly on the wire rack to cool completely.

How To Store

The bread will keep at room temperature for about 3 days. Wrap in plastic wrap or place in a food storage bag.

To Freeze:

You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Let the loaf cool completely and then wrap with plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe plastic bag, or wrap in a layer of foil and put in the freezer. Let the loaf thaw at room temperature before serving.

If you want to freeze slices to be able to take out individually, slice the bread and arrange the pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for a couple hours for the bread to freeze. Then stack the slices and wrap in foil or a freezer safe bag before putting in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Well, now I'm starving! I love banana and peanut butter, so this flavor combo has me chomping at the bit to make it. The chocolate chips are a nice touch, too!

I just got a pingback on this post--how odd since it's from a couple of months ago. Anyway, love what you've done with the banana bread. I love peanut butter cups--would have never thought to add them to banana bread but this is brilliant, especially with the peanut butter.
