Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1 large egg Creates a moist texture and helps bind the ingredients together.
  • ¾ cup brown sugar Adds rich sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor.
  • ⅓ cup canola oil Keeps the bread tender and helps with moisture retention.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Balances the flavors and sweetness in the batter.
  • ½ cup sour cream Contributes to a rich, creamy texture and enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup peanut butter The star of our Peanut Butter Apple Banana Bread; use creamy or crunchy based on preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates the flavor with a warm, aromatic touch.

For the Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour The base that gives structure to your loaf.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Ensures the bread rises beautifully and remains fluffy.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda Works with the sour cream to help the bread rise.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances all the sweet flavors and balances overall taste.

For the Fruit Additions

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas Provides natural sweetness and moisture, making every bite delightful.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by spraying with floured cooking spray or greasing with butter and dusting with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, brown sugar, canola oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • Add the mashed ripe bananas and grated apples to the batter and fold carefully until just incorporated.
  • Pour the completed batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Once baked, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use overripe bananas and avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light texture.
