Mmm mmmm mmmm…. Peanut butter banana bread is our new favorite breakfast treat!!!! The trick is to use really ripe bananas!!! And the peanut butter really adds another flavor!!! Another yummy treat for PEANUT BUTTER MONTH!!!
Quick!! Save 3 bananas and let it ripen!!! There are a few ways to ripen banana. There’s the let it ripe naturally. There’s the brown bag method, where you put banana and an apple in a brown bag for a few days. And the last one, which I’ve never tried before, is to do it in the oven! Bake your banana in a 300 degree oven until the peel turn black et voila! Ripen bananas! Which one is your preferred method??
I like banana bread because it’s great for breakfast and for snack. And the peanut butter really add depth to the banana bread. It just gives another flavor to it but it’s not overpowering. Are your bananas ready?? Let’s bake this Peanut Butter Banana Cake!!
In a stand mixer bowl, mix together the 2 butters, peanut butter and butter until it’s smooth.
Add the sugar and eggs, and mix to combine.
Alternatively, add the flour and banana. So it should be a little bit of flour, then banana, then flour, then banana, then flour.
Add the chocolate chips and nuts. Now I personally like it without any add on, but the kiddos of course love it with chocolate chips!!
Pour it into a greased 3×5 loaf pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes.
How do you like to enjoy your banana bread? At breakfast? For snack? With coffee? Or with tea? Or by itself? I just know that it will be delicious!!
Happy Baking!!
