Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for a denser texture.
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon Optional for those preferring a spice-free loaf.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Ensure freshness for the best rise.
  • 1 tsp Baking soda Works with the bananas’ acidity to help bread rise.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances the flavors of all ingredients; no substitute necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Switch to coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar White sugar works too but with less flavor depth.
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Natural varieties can be used but may alter texture.
  • 2 Eggs For a vegan option, flax eggs can be used.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Recommended for added depth.
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream Greek yogurt is a good substitute.
  • 3 Mashed bananas Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts Optional; can be replaced by chocolate chips.

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Beat softened butter with brown sugar and peanut butter until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Pour in vanilla extract and blend until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in mashed bananas and optional nuts or chocolate chips.
