💡 20 Pro Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Banana Bread

1. Use overripe bananas – The blacker the better for maximum flavor and moisture.

2. Warm the peanut butter – Makes mixing easier and smoother.

3. Chop Reese’s small – Helps distribute the chocolate evenly.

4. Line your loaf pan – For easy removal and clean edges.

5. Don’t overmix – Overmixing = dense, tough bread.

6. Let it rest – Cooling for 10–15 minutes enhances texture.

7. Add a swirl – Drizzle extra peanut butter on top and swirl before baking.

8. Test early – Start checking at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.

9. Double up – Bake two loaves and freeze one.

10. Use natural PB cautiously – The texture may be runnier and impact structure.

11. No coconut oil? – Use melted butter or canola oil.

12. Top it off – Add extra chopped Reese’s on top before baking for a pretty finish.

13. Add cinnamon – A ½ tsp of ground cinnamon gives extra warmth.

14. Make muffins – Bake in a muffin tin for 18–22 minutes.

15. Freeze ripe bananas – Always have some on hand for baking.

16. Room temp ingredients – Helps everything mix more evenly.

17. Use a serrated knife – Cuts clean slices without tearing the loaf.

18. Make it gluten-free – Use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

19. Reheat slices – A few seconds in the microwave makes the Reese’s gooey again!

20. Drizzle glaze – Mix powdered sugar, milk, and peanut butter for a sweet topping.
