Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 0.5 cup brown sugar enhances sweetness while adding a rich, caramel flavor.
  • 0.33 cup canola oil keeps the bread moist without a strong flavor.
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar balances sweetness and helps achieve the perfect crust.
  • 0.5 cup sour cream adds richness and contributes to the moistness of the loaf.
  • 1 cup peanut butter provides that creamy nuttiness and a protein boost.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract infuses the bread with a warm, inviting aroma.
For the Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour the foundation for structure.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder gives the bread that lovely, fluffy lift.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda boosts the rise and complements the acidity of the sour cream.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lightly spraying it with floured cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, canola oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy for 2-3 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold them into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Fold in the mashed ripe bananas and grated apples gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top. Ensure the mixture fills about ¾ of the pan.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
