Banana Peanut Butter Bread is such an easy dish, with just a hint of the peanut butter, to make and a great way to use up those bananas that are about to go bad. Banana bread doesn’t have to be made as a loaf, you can also make banana bread into muffins.

Ok…don’t freak out on me…but this Banana Peanut Butter Bread is from scratch. I didn’t cheat this time like I normally do. So, if you’re looking for my cake mix recipes…sorry…this one isn’t it.
I decided to make this instead of throwing my bananas away or freezing them. I didn’t have a cake mix on hand…gasp! So, I went the old fashioned way. Made it by hand. It seems like a lot, but you probably have all the ingredients on hand, except maybe the ripe bananas. And if you have bananas, just wait a couple days and you’ll be good to go.
Do you think I should have added nuts?
Will banana bread rise?
Yes, yes it will.
How long will banana bread last?
Left at room temperature, the bread will last 1-2 days. However, if kept in the refrigerator, the bread will last up to 1 week.
How do you keep banana bread moist?
My suggestion is to keep the bread in an airtight plastic container, or a sealed baggie to keep it from drying up.
