I used chocolate chips instead of the walnuts. It tasted good, but there wasn't much peanut butter flavor. Adding more peanut butter or crushed peanuts to the batter might have helped.

This recipe is different and delicious. After reading the reviews stating the bread was a little dry and the PB flavor wasn't very pronounced, I made some modifications - with great results! Reduce the flour to 1 and 3/4 cups and increase the peanut butter to 3/4 cup. Cover the bread with foil after an hour or it will get very dark. I omitted the walnuts because I felt they would compete with the PB flavor and added a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips which really pulled the flavors together beautifully. Raisins would be great too though. The bread requires at least 1 hour and 20 minutes to bake. This is very filling and delicious! Thanks!

This bread cooked very well, but the taste was mediocre - nothing special. I had leftover bananas and had all the other ingredients to make this, so I did. I did like it enough to want to make it again.

This wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. I didn't think it had enough flavor. It was also a little to dense and dry for my taste. I won't be making this again.

I thought this one was fantastic. Just peanutty enough to complement the banana.

A moist, tasty bread. I added a handful of chocolate chips. Makes a great bread for breakfast or evening.

It had a good flavor, not too heavy on the peanut butter, but it came out dry and rubbery in texture.

Okay, so I had to tweak this recipe as I found I was short on ingredients. I used only 3 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter, 1/2 cup peanuts (crush them before adding to batter) and added 2 cups All-Bran Cereal for fiber(soak w/ water for 5 minutes). YUMMMMM!! Oh, and I added 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to half the batter. I made 24 muffins. 3 grams of fiber per muffin. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I wish it were a little lower in calories, but still very, very good.

I think the peanut butter flavor takes away from the banana bread. I also think that the peanut butter leaves the bread very bland. It seems as if it would add more flavor, but I think it takes away.

First I have to say that this bread is delicious and I will be making it again. I used chuncky pnut butter also. The drawbacks are that it does brown way too fast(the foil remedy worked for that). I didn't bake it for as long as it said because when I checked it with a toothpick it came out clean and I was afraid of letting it get too dry. When it was cool and I cut it there was a big hole in the middle where it had undercooked. The problem is that if I had finished baking it the bread would have been dry. As it was, everything around the whole was baked perfectly.

I wasn't terribly thrilled by this bread. I made it with chocolate chips, and without. I also made a plain banana bread at the same time, and like it much better. Took well over 70 minutes to bake, and to be honest, wasn't really worth the wait.

I thought this recipe was very good, but definitely needed the chocolate chips. The taste isn't that different from regular banana bread, but just a little heavier because of the peanut butter. The tip about covering the bread with tinfoil because it browns quickly (before fully cooked) was invaluable! thanks!
