banana / peanut butter bread - don't throw your old bananas to waste!

I hope you all are well and that you are staying positive and productive during these different and difficult times. I have been experimenting with a new banana bread recipe, and the result turned out to be great! Super easy, and no fancy ingredients needed. My friends always make fun of me, because I always save the leftovers, even for the smallest portions of food, and I have zero shame asking for a doggy bag. Better for us, and better for the environment!



What you need


baking sheet
2 yellow bananas
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon honey
80 grams oats
50 grams of peanut butter
seeds/ nuts/ chocolate chip




What you do


Start with heating up the oven to 180 degrees Celcius/ 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a hand mixer, and mix together the bananas, eggs, honey and the peanut butter.


Mix together all the dry ingredients in a different bowl. Add the dry ingredients little by little to the banana mixture as you stir. Make sure to get rid of any bumps in the mixture.


Have a baking sheet over a load pan and add the mixture. In the end, add some seeds, nuts, berries, or chocolate chips as you prefer. Or keep it plain and simple.
Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, deepening on your oven. I recommend checking regularly after 25 minutes as every oven is different. Leave the bread on a shake for about 10 minutes before you slice it into thick pieces. Serve it alone, or with some berry jam. The bread lasts for about a week if you keep it in a plastic bag in your fridge.




I hope you got inspired to check out this recipe next time you are about to throw out your old bananas.
