Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup milk any kind
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup chopped peanuts optional, for topping

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in peanut butter, brown sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top if desired.
  5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
