Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons honey-roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • For the bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat together the peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then fold in the mashed banana. Add the flour mixture, and beat on medium-low until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and bake until the bread is golden brown and has split at the top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack. (You can tent the bread with foil if it begins to brown too quickly.)
  • For the glaze: When the bread has cooled, combine the peanut butter, butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the glaze sit until it has stiffened up a bit but is still spreadable. Spread over the top of the bread, and sprinkle the peanuts on top. Let sit for 10 minutes to set up before slicing. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA LOAF



Peanut Butter & Banana Loaf image

From Metropolitan Cookbook 1964...I love old cookbooks! I love the combination of peanut butter and bananas in this quick bread. (Edited to adjust the baking times to 35-45 minutes and not the original 1 hour. My oven it takes almost a complete 45 minutes where reviewers are baked in 35 minutes. Just check after 35 minutes so it does not get overbaked!)

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender loaf.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and that the bread rises properly.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas and peanut butter until just combined. Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
