Servings: 20 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 bananas, ripe, mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
  • Strawberry Jam, or flavor of your choice

Instructions

For the bread:

  • Beat together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until creamy.  You want to use bananas that are overly ripe, the more brown spots the better. This means they will be super sweet and soft.
  • Mash them well with a fork and add them to the mixing bowl, along with the eggs, milk and vanilla. Beat until combined.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Begin to add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing well.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour half of the batter into a loaf pan that has been greased with cooking spray. Add half of the chopped peanuts to the top of the loaf and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Remove bread from the oven and cool slightly. Remove from the pan and cut into 1/2 inch slices.

For the muffins:

  • Use an ice cream scoop to spoon the rest of the batter into a greased muffin pan, making 12 muffins with each cup about 2/3 full. Place a teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center of each muffin. Use a jam flavor that your family loves.
  • Sprinkle the muffins with chopped nuts.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and cool slightly in the pan.
  • Remove muffins from the pan and serve while the jam is warm and the muffins are soft and delicious.
