In Your Face Banana Bread
This bread calls for five! bananas. This is a recipe that is full of banana flavour so you really don't want to skimp on 'em bananas.
And for good measure, of course, I added some mini peanut butter cups. One never wants too much potassium without peanut butter.
If you're looking for a delicious, moist, full of flavour banana bread, make this (and share)!
In Your Face Banana Bread
Adapted from: Recipe Girl
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup (packed) brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed over-ripe bananas (about 5 bananas)
1 cup of mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups (from Trader Joe's)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, soda and salt; set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture and mini peanut butter cups into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 60- 65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Yum...that looks amazing! And peanut butter cups? Bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteI can always eat banana bread. There's just something about it, maybe how moist it is. Love this recipe, Mary. And I love that you incorporated the mini pb cups from tj's.

i LOVE making banan bread!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good.I really have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteMmm this bread looks SO good! I love that there are 5 bananas in here. I also love that you left huge chunks of the banana in the bread... that's how I like my banana bread too. Some people like it pureed so that there are no chunks left but not me! Great idea adding in the peanut butter cups.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly give this a try but will leave out the peanut butter cups, firstly because I do not like peanut butter but secondly because I have never heard of them over here. I do love bananas though :-) Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the addition of peanut butter I thought.. yess! Banana + peanut butter = well, this :p Yummy and in your face!
ReplyDeleteyou had me a 5 bananas. And mini pb cups are not a bad addition either!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I love that it uses up five bananas, I always have a lot of bananas because once they have brown flecks the kids won't eat them. We make a lot of banana bread, have to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteThis looks SO delicious :) I love using leftover bananas to make muffins, cupcakes or mash them up in pancakes. This recipe looks like a winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Ooo, I LOVE that you added peanut butter cups to this bread, Mary! It looks delicious and perfect for breakfast or brunch. I can never say no to a good slice of warm banana bread! Mmmm...
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I love banana breads... will definitely try out this one to make it egg-less! Thanks for posting :)

This looks really delicious and I have banana that have to be used. I'm relatively new to your blog and don't often comment. I just wanted you to know I'm here and that I really enjoy the time I spend here. I love the food and recipes you share with your readers. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteoh my word! I would like some of that banana bread to get in my face right NOW! bookmarking and stumbling!
ReplyDeleteWonderful banana bread, I like the addition of pb chips!
ReplyDeleteOh how I would LOVE this! Bananas have been hideously expensive here in Sydney thanks to a cyclone a couple of months a go that ruined all the crops. Australia doesn't import any bananas so all we can do is wait until they are in plenty of supply again (and the price will come down).
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for banana bread. I love the smell when it comes from the oven. This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely amazing! I had banana bread pudding at Ketchup awhile back and have been dying to take a stab at making my own. I'm thinking I'll combine tis recipe with a bread pudding one and I'll be in heaven! xoxo Marissa

Banana bread + mini pb cups = awesome!!
ReplyDeletewow, this looks/sounds incredible. My fiance and I love BB so much so this is a must try!
ReplyDeletethat looks *so* good! i always wonder why internet recipes try to make banana bread healthy, instead of turn the corner and make it the dessert it deserves to be :-)
ReplyDeleteI love banana bread!!! My roommates and I buy so many bananas so if we can't eat them all, we make banana bread or muffins!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome addition with those peanut butter cups. I am liking that idea!
ReplyDeleteBananas? ... in my face! Peanut butter cups sounds like an awesome addition. Yummmmmm!
ReplyDelete5 bananas AND peanut butter cups? Sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteI actually have a bunch of turning very brown bananas and now I know what I am going to do with them!
ReplyDeletethat banana bread surely was in my face and I was pretending to scarf it down once i saw it. One look and you can tell it has the richness of the banana flavor and so moist and yummy! I love it and wish I had a slice right now!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. I like everything about this. My mother made a lot of banana bread (and zucchini bread) when I was growing up, and yet I've never tried to make it on my own. Not sure what I'm waiting for...maybe the introduction of chocolate and peanut butter is what I was waiting for!
ReplyDeletewow...yummy..yummy..!
