Peanut Butter Banana Bread (with a Nutella Swirl)

This post may contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

If you love the combination of peanut butter and banana, this one’s for you. The peanut butter makes the bread rich and moist, and mini peanut butter cups (hello, leftover Halloween candy!) make every few bites a treat. A swirl of chocolate hazelnut spread on top is optional but highly recommended.

Tips

• Use creamy peanut butter (not natural-style) for the best texture.
• Toss the candy in flour so it doesn’t sink.
• Tent with foil if the top browns before the center is done.
