Containing mashed bananas and creamy peanut butter, the batter bakes into a sweet, nutty and super tender loaf.<\/p>\n<p>The method here is similar to that of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-best-banana-bread-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-best-banana-bread-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">banana bread recipes<\/a>. Banana and peanut butter bread starts with a simple batter that requires a few pantry staples, plus ripe bananas, oil and eggs. The quick bread is a delicious snack, dessert or addition to breakfast. It&#8217;s a must-try for anyone who loves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/peanut-butter-and-banana-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/peanut-butter-and-banana-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">recipes that combine peanut butter and bananas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Peanut Butter Banana Bread<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong> We use 1\/2 cup vegetable oil for banana bread with a moist, tender crumb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut butter:<\/strong> We use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture. Choose a regular, processed peanut butter or a no-stir natural variety and avoid drippy peanut butter for a light and fluffy loaf.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> You can use a full cup of granulated sugar, or use half granulated and half brown sugar for a caramel-like flavor that tastes amazing with the peanut butter and banana combo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Room-temperature eggs<\/a> are easier to incorporate into the quick bread batter. Let the eggs sit on the counter for 30 minutes to take the chill off, or pop them into a bowl of warm (but not hot) water for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bananas:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need three medium bananas to get 1-1\/2 cups mashed. Be sure to use brown-speckled bananas\u2014the spots mean the fruit is ripe and will bring more sweetness and moisture to your banana bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Avoid scooping your flour directly out of the bag or canister\u2014it can result in overpacked measuring cups and dense baked goods. Keep your banana bread light by spooning the flour into your measuring cup, then leveling it with the flat side of a knife.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:<\/strong> A teaspoon of baking soda helps the banana bread rise and have a light, airy crumb. Don\u2019t forget leavening agents weaken over time, so check the expiration date to ensure your baking soda is still fresh and active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2127619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Peanut-Butter-Banana-Bread_FT25_28250_JR_0319_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of a mixing bowl containing a blob of creamy peanut butter placed next to a mound of white sugar; the bowl is positioned against a light blue countertop, to the right, a handheld electric mixer rests\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Editor\u2019s Tip: You can line your loaf pans with parchment, letting it overhang on two sides, to help the banana bread release easily and cleanly. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes, then remove the loaves from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Peanut-Butter-Banana-Bread_FT25_28250_JR_0319_5.jpg?fit=700,1024"}],"recipeYield":"2 loaves (8 slices each)","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sharon Lehman, RDN"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":" 266 calories","fatContent":"14g fat (2g saturated fat)","cholesterolContent":"23mg cholesterol","sodiumContent":"287mg sodium","carbohydrateContent":"32g carbohydrate (16g sugars","fiberContent":"2g fiber)","proteinContent":"5g protein."},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":3.7941177,"reviewCount":34,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5},"review":[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-04-21","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"mdtovornik"},"reviewBody":"Don't know what they are talking about burning came out fine at 70 minutes being done.
