I thought: Do I really need another banana bread recipes? But…I had to try Claire Saffitz’s banana bread recipe. I used what was available in my pantry and swapped out almond butter for peanut butter, and coconut oil for vegetable oil. Lovely banana-ey flavour with a touch of savory peanut butter (I’ll try it with almond butter next time!)

I adapted her original recipe and changed the steps to reduce use of too many bowls, and to make measurements clearer for what goes on the bread topping vs in the batter.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Banana bread recipe from Claire Saffitz's Dessert Person cookbook. The almond butter swirl on top and almond butter in the batter adds a savory edge and toasty flavor, while coconut oil and yogurt keeps it tender and moist. 

Makes one loaf (4 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch loaf pan)
