Best Ever Banana Bread

The one fruit that always becomes over ripe within a second (😅) is banana. Not only my household but most of the houses has this problem and we always end up throwing them. 

Once you know this recipe you will never ever throw them. This is the best ever banana bread that you will come across. The peanut butter swirl not only gives a beautiful design but also compliments the banana bread flavour. 

If you ask me i will say that the peanut butter and banana bread should be a couple forever 😂. 

As always i have used whole wheat flour but if you wish to use all purpose flour go ahead. Anyways the outcome will be an amazing one. 

INGREDIENTS 

3 bananas (mashed) 

½ cup oil

2 eggs

⅓ cup yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 - 1½ cup sugar 

1¾ cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp peanut butter

½ to ¼ cup chopped nuts/ chocolate chips (optional) 

METHOD 

Preheat the oven to 165°C (325°F).

Prepare a cake tin by applying butter and dusting with flour or use a parchment paper. 

In a large mixing bowl add the bananas and using a fork mash them. 

Add in the oil, eggs and yogurt to the mashed bananas and mix well until combined. 

Next add in the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt to the mixture and give it a mix until all the ingredients are combined and forms a pourable cake batter. 

If using nuts, add them into the batter and fold it into the batter genly without over mixing. 

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking tin. 

Microwave the peanut butter for 30 seconds. This will make the butter softer and easy to swirl. 

Mix the peanut butter with a spoon and spoon it on top of the batter, using the same spoon make circular motions on top of the batter to make peanut butter swirls. 

Now bake the cake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the knife or skewer comes out clean. Let it cool. 

Thats it the peanut butter swirl banana bread is ready to be served. 

Enjoy.
