A delightful twist on the classic banana bread, incorporating the nutty richness of peanut butter for a moist and flavorful treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and remove any lumps.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
Softened butter blends more easily, creating a smoother mixture.
Gradually add the sugar to the butter mixture, beating until light and fluffy.
Adding sugar gradually helps to incorporate air into the mixture, making the bread lighter.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
Adding eggs one at a time ensures a smoother batter.
Mash the bananas and stir them into the wet mixture.
Use a fork or potato masher for quick mashing.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures easy removal of the baked loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the bread at the lower end of the baking time to avoid overbaking.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the bread in the pan helps it set and makes it easier to remove.
