Bananas and chunky peanut butter complement each other in this quick bread, which bakes to a beautiful golden brown. It's a fun change of pace from typical banana breads.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture.
  2. Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf ban. Bake at 350° for 70-75 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
