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.
