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!)

This loaf is a great way to use up leftover bananas. I always have a few overripe bananas on hand, and this loaf is a great way to use them up.

I've been looking for a peanut butter banana loaf recipe that doesn't use refined sugar. This one is perfect! It's sweetened with honey and maple syrup, and it's just as delicious as the traditional version.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my loaf didn't turn out as expected. It was too dense and didn't have much flavor. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This loaf was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the peanut butter and banana flavors were barely noticeable. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
