Notes
* aquafaba is the liquid from a of beans, like chickpeas or white beans. It is an excellent egg replacer! For more information www.aquafaba.com
It is a flavor combo essential! Live long banana and PB!
Hear hear!!
Aw that sounds good!!!!
😀 Thanks!
YUM I love peanut butter on banana bread, and this looks like a healthy snack option!
Thanks! I’m not sure if it’ll meet any dieters standards, but it is definitely healthier than most versions. Pb + banana is the best 😀
the peanut butter frosting really puts this over the top.
It really does take it to another level. Hope you try it! 😀
This looks so good! I love banana bread so this banana cake recipe has me very intrigued. I’m also a huge peanut butter fan. I trust your assessment that the combination of these flavors is awesome!
Oh my goodness, if you’ve never had peanut butter and banana together, you have to try it. Often I just slice some banana and spread pb over them – yum!
Love the idea of pairing it with peanut butter frosting!
I just loooooove me some warm banana bread!! this looks incredibly moist and well, I can taste it from here! Yum!
LoL! It is super moist because of the bananas and then ridiculously decadent with the peanut butter. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to taste things through a computer screen – maybe someday!
Thanks! It is one of the best combos, in my opinion!
This looks amazing!!! Peanut butter makes everything magical! 😍
Yes, yes it does! Thanks for visiting :-D.
This looks delicious!
Thanks!
This looks really good. I think my kiddo and my husband would actually eat it.
It’s hard to resist banana & peanut butter combined ;-D
Looks tasty! So I’m very allergic to peanutbutter. Do you know if someone could make this with almond butter too?

Oh bummer. I think this would work perfectly with almond butter. I haven’t tried it this way but substituting almond butter 1:1 is would work great. I love bananas spread with almond butter so I’m sure the flavor would be awesome too! Let me know if you try it, I’d love to hear :-D.
My best friend is a vegan and she would love this recipe, going to share it.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll bet she’d love it if you made it for her too, wink wink :-D.
Wow I love the peanut butter on top! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks!
