Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup milk
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and peanut butter. Ensure the peanut butter is well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
