Peanut butter banana bread is a nutty twist on the classic quick bread. Creamy peanut butter is swirled into banana bread batter, resulting in a flavorful, tender loaf.

1-1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (3 medium banana)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream the oil, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; stir into creamed mixture.
