Banana Peanut Butter Loaf

I once again had some overripe bananas on the counter. Trying to figure out what to do with them, I remember a recipe I found and gave to a coworker. My coworker made the bread and said it was wonderful, so I gave it a try. I’m not a fan of nuts in baked goods, and this recipe does have nuts in it, but I made it with the nuts anyway. It was good, but I much prefer the classic banana bread (minus the nuts of course), and -s much preferred the chocolate chip banana bread. After a tasting, I sent the bread to work with -s, and everyone who ate it loved it. So if you are a nut lover and peanut butter lover, I suppose this is a recipe for you.

This recipe comes from the Seattle Times Food Section from March 7, 2007.

Ingredients:

  • 6 TBSP butter
  • 1/3 c. crunchy peanut butter
