Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium Overripe Bananas Essential for natural sweetness and moisture; frozen bananas can be used after thawing.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Adds a rich, nutty flavor; opt for natural peanut butter for a healthier choice.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness and texture; brown sugar can be substituted for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together; use a flaxseed egg for a vegan option (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water).
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the bread; whole wheat flour is a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Leavening agent to ensure a fluffy loaf; check freshness for optimal results.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Leavening agent to ensure a fluffy loaf; check freshness for optimal results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor; a tiny pinch makes a significant difference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile; optional but highly recommended.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Mix the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg (or flaxseed egg), and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
