Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Peanut Butter Banana Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with the sweetness of ripe bananas. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack any time of the day.

To make this Peanut Butter Banana Bread, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, peanut butter, sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough and dense bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Peanut Butter Banana Bread should have a golden brown crust and a moist, tender crumb. The aroma of freshly baked bread combined with the nutty scent of peanut butter will fill your kitchen and make your mouth water.
This dish can be classified as a dessert or a breakfast item, and its three main ingredients are bananas, peanut butter, and flour. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
