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 AND JELLY BANANA BREAD



Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
3/4 cup strawberry preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with butter.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Add the peanut butter and mix to combine. Whisk the vanilla and eggs together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in the egg mixture while beating; beat until incorporated. Mix in the bananas (the batter will appear curdled, but don't worry), then remove the bowl from the mixer. With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in 1/2 cup of the peanuts.
  • Add two-thirds of the batter to the prepared pan. Spread 1/2 cup of the strawberry preserves over the batter, making sure to leave a 1/2-inch border between the preserves and the sides of the loaf pan. Spread the remaining batter over the layer of preserves.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn the bread out of the pan onto the rack. After it has cooled a bit but is still warm, spread the remaining 1/4 cup strawberry preserves over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped peanuts. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BREAD



Peanut Butter Banana Bread image

I can't seem to get enough banana bread recipes, and the addition of peanut butter is always a plus. I love the light, cakelike texture of this bread. I may increase the peanut butter next time - it's pretty subtle, although it does comes through more strongly as the bread sits (it would probably be good to make it the night before you want to eat it). I made this into mini-loaves, baked for 35-40 minutes. From Home Cooking Magazine (November-December 2004).

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful banana bread, use overripe bananas with brown spots on their skin. They add natural sweetness and a rich banana flavor to the bread.
  • Use good quality peanut butter for a pronounced peanut taste. Creamy peanut butter blends seamlessly into the batter, while chunky peanut butter provides a delightful textural contrast.
  • For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar or use chocolate chips or chopped nuts as mix-ins.
  • To ensure even baking, preheat your oven before starting the batter. This helps the bread rise evenly and prevents a dense, undercooked center.
  • Check the doneness of the bread by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. Overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly texture.

Peanut butter and banana bread is a classic combination that offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures. Whether you prefer a moist and tender loaf or a crunchy exterior with a soft interior, there's a recipe in this article that will satisfy your cravings.
