My family loves banana bread and one of my favorite banana bread toppings is peanut butter so it was a natural for me to incorporate peanut butter into the bread this time. The perk is that I simply substituted peanut butter for the shortening so I got the PB-banana flavor while adding protein and other nutrients from the nut butter. {If you’re not a peanut butter fan but you still want a healthier banana bread option, try my low-fat banana bread which uses low-fat Greek yogurt.} I can envision combining this peanut butter banana bread with my chocolate chip version sometime, too!
*I was out of eggs the first time that I made these but I googled egg substitutes and discovered many ideas on the Chef in You. I happened to have an extra 1/2 banana and 1/3 cup applesauce so that is the combo I used to replace the 2 eggs and my family didn’t notice the difference.
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs (OR ⅔ cup applesauce OR 1 additional banana)
- 1 cup mashed banana (2+ ripe bananas)
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup milk + 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice (or ⅓ cup + 1 tsp buttermilk)
- Cream the peanut butter and the sugar.
- Add the eggs and the mashed bananas.
- Alternate between adding the remaining dry and wet ingredients.
- Spoon the batter into lined muffin tins (or pour the batter into a greased loaf pan).
- Bake the muffins at 350 degrees for 15+ minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. A loaf of banana bread will cook for 50-60 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool completely on a wire rack.

These look delicious. I can’t wait to bake them with my daughters. They love Peanut butter as much as I do. Thanks for posting this recipe.
These look yummy. Can’t wait to try them. Mike and the girls will be all over these! Thanks for the recipe!
These are awesome. I subbed half the flour for whole wheat flour and quick oats. They are even better with some white choc chips! Thanks for sharing:)
