Nutty Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly for non-stick baking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter (creamy), and unsalted butter (soften the butter by letting it sit at room temperature for some time). Blend until you have a smooth, uniform mixture.

Add the sugar, eggs (beaten), and mix well until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until smooth.

Add the chopped peanuts, mix well, and transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for about 55-65 minutes, or until the edges of the banana bread are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you have chocolate chips, add them on top of the banana bread before baking for a delightful chocolatey twist.
