Description
With just the right balance of peanuts and bananas, this easy crunchy peanut butter banana bread proves why these two ingredients are a total dream team.
Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting pan
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 rounded cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, oil, eggs, milk and peanut butter. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle chopped peanuts across the top.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
- Let the loaf sit in the pan for 15 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Adapted from Baked Elements by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito
I used 75% of the sugar in the recipe. The cake is nice and moist. It has a very rich flavour that easily fills you up. Be careful about the timing, it can easily burn past 75 minutes. I came back to try a second time?.

making this banana bread for the 2nd time tonight! it’s by far the best recipe online I’ve found… the only modification I made was adding butter instead of oil. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I will have to try butter instead of oil the next time I make it!
Great recipe! I had all the ingredients and didn’t need to make a run to the store for any special ingredients. We made these into muffins–easy to pack for the beach (and portion control). They baked in about 20 minutes. I may even add some chocolate chips next time. Thanks!
That would be delicious with chocolate chips!
