Equipment

Ingredients

4 spotty, over ripe bananas, mashed about 1 & 1/3 - 1 & 1/2 cup mashed
½ cup (135g) creamy peanut butter
½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
½ cup (118ml) brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (240g) all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º F.
In a mixing bowl mash 4 bananas - this should equal 1 & 1/3 cup to 1 & 1/2 cup mashed banana.
4 spotty, over ripe bananas, mashed
Add the creamy peanut butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar and vanilla extract, blend with an electric mixer on low.
1/2 cup (135g) creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup (118ml) vegetable oil, 1/2 cup (118ml) brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add the eggs, beat gently just until the egg yolks break.
2 large eggs
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. By hand, gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture using a spatula, just until combined.
2 cups (240g) all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt
Spray a loaf pan (either 9x5 or 8.5x4.5) with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan.
Place in the center of the oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, place aluminum foil over the bread and bake for 20-25 additional minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total suggested bake time for a 8.5x4.5 inch pan is 65-70 minutes and 9x5 inch pan is 60-65 minutes.

Notes

I’ve made this bread with both regular and gluten free flour with awesome results on multiple occasions. I recommend King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour. Use it as a one for one substitute for regular flour.
