Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ cup mashed ripe banana
½ cup natural peanut butter the drippy or pourable kind
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup plant-based milk I used oat milk
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
peanuts or chocolate chips optional, for garnishing

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Transfer the mashed bananas to a medium bowl and add the peanut butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir or whisk until combined and uniform.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix!).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and garnish with peanuts or chocolate chips (optional). Bake for 50-60 minutes (check for doneness using a toothpick, it should come out clean!).
Once done baking, let the loaf cool down in the pan for 20-30 minutes, then unmold and let it cool down completely on a cooling rack. Then, slice and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: you can keep the loaf at room temperature for up to 2 days, then transfer to the fridge for 3-4 days. Keep in an airtight container so the loaf does not dry. You can also freeze it!
Feel free to add some chocolate chips, walnuts, vanilla, raisins, etc to the batter before baking.
Let the loaf completely cool down before slicing or it can crumble!
