Ingredients

All ingredients used are organic and thoughtfully selected to create a richer, more elevated flavor.

• 3 ripe bananas (the uglier, the better 😉), mashed
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup cane sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but highly recommended)

Optional add-ins (DO IT):

• ½ cup chocolate chips 
• ¼ cup chopped nuts of choice (for crunch)

 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
   Grease or line a 9x5 loaf pan.
2. Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth with a few small chunks.
3. Mix wet ingredients
   Add peanut butter, sugars, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.
   Whisk until creamy and slightly fluffy.
4. Add dry ingredients
   Sprinkle flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the top.
   Gently fold until just combined.
   (Do NOT overmix—this is your moist magic step.)
5. Fold in extras
   Chocolate chips or nuts if using.
6. Pour + optional swirl
   Add to pan. Drop a few spoonfuls of peanut butter on top and lightly swirl for that bakery look.
7. Bake for 50–60 minutes
   Toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Cool at least 15–20 minutes before slicing
   (I know… but trust me, it sets the texture)

🔥 Pro Tips (this is where it goes next level)

• Use VERY ripe bananas (almost black) → sweeter, softer bread
• Room temp eggs + yogurt = smoother batter
• If top browns too fast → loosely tent with foil at ~40 min
• Let it sit overnight = EVEN BETTER the next day
