Why you’ll love this recipe

I absolutely love banana bread, and today I have made it even better with peanut butter!

This banana bread is moist and dense, loaded with peanut butter and bananas, and is bursting with flavour.

Made from 4 large ripe bananas, this recipe produces the most tender and flavourful crumb. More bananas = more moisture and more flavour.

Drizzle extra peanut butter on top of the batter and swirl it in before baking for extra PB goodness!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this bread. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

How to make Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Mixing dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Mixing wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lighter in colour. Add the yogurt, oil, vanilla, bananas, and peanut butter, and whisk until combined.

Mixing the two: Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined – do not overmix.

Pour into a pan: Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan and spread out evenly.

Optional: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of peanut butter over the top of the batter. (If your peanut butter is too thick to drizzle, microwave it for a few seconds until runny.) Use a knife or toothpick/cake tester to swirl the peanut butter into the top of the batter.

Bake for about 60 – 70 minutes, or until a toothpick/cake tester inserted into the centre comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
