PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BREAD

● 50g butter

● 330–350g blackened bananas (peeled weight), plus 1 spare for decoration

● 120g crunchy peanut butter

● 220g plain flour

● 80g caster sugar

● 100g soft light brown sugar

● 3 tsp baking powder

● ½ tsp sea salt

● 2 eggs

● 30g salted peanuts

● 900g loaf pan, greased and lined with parchment paper

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°c/400°f/gas 6

1. Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat, then remove from the heat. Add the bananas to a bowl and mash well to break down. Add the peanut butter and melted butter to the banana bowl and mix well to combine.

2. In a separate, large bowl, add the flour, sugars, baking powder and sea salt. I usually don’t bother with sifting, but it’s worth doing here
