Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 6 TBSP unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 medium, super ripe (like the color scares you ripe) bananas
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F.
Sift all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugar on medium-high for 3 minutes, it should be light and fluffy.

Add eggs, one at a time and beat for 30 seconds after each egg addition. Add vanilla and beat another 30 seconds.

Add bananas and mix until incorporated.

With the mixer on low speed add the dry ingredients and mix until everything is just incorporated. Don’t over mix. Remove from mixer and fold in peanut butter chips with a spatula. This will also help the rest of the ingredients mix in.

If making mini loaves (makes three) these bake about 30-40 minutes. If you are doing a full size loaf it will take about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. As always, just watch it because each oven is different.
