Peanut Butter Spiced Banana Bread Recipe

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 ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°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 sugar and beat until well combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Stir in the chopped walnuts, if using.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
