Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural style recommended)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a standard loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter where the oil separates slightly.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter bread, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup, though the ripe bananas usually provide enough sweetness.
- This recipe is naturally dairy free.
