Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
Fold in chopped peanuts.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with extra peanuts and rolled oats.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more peanut-forward flavor.
Wrap leftovers tightly to keep moist for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Great served warm with a smear of butter or more peanut butter.
