Recipe: Easy Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and butter until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. If using walnuts, fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the bread is cool, dust it with confectioners' sugar if desired and serve.
Cook Time: 55-60 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Variations:
* Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
* Substitute chopped pecans or hazelnuts for the walnuts.
* Drizzle the cooled bread with honey or maple syrup for a sweet treat.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
