Over recent weeks we’ve started making more variations of our favourite banana cake recipe to get us excited for that classic bake again. I’m sure, like most people, we baked more than our fair share of banana loaves over the course of the pandemic so we need something to reignite our love for them again.
Our latest creation is a wonderful banana peanut butter cake. It’s quite like a banana bread recipe, so moreish and would be lovely spread with Nutella but is equally as lovely eaten as it is alongside a nice cup of tea.
What peanut butter should you use for this bake?
This peanut butter banana bread uses crunchy peanut butter which adds an extra level of texture to the bake but you could use a smooth and creamy peanut butter instead if you wanted. You could even add a handful of chocolate chips if you wanted for a chocolate peanut butter banana cake!
We have this loaf cake plain but you could always add some peanut butter frosting or cream cheese frosting to the top or even slice the cake in half and add a layer of frosting in the middle too, making an amazing peanut butter banana layer cake!
If you’re looking for other bakes to try, why not give our Lotus Biscoff Banana Cake a try? We also have a nutty banana muffins recipe and you can see all our recipes for using ripe bananas here.
