  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup mashed bananas

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. Mash your bananas in a bowl and set them aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Fold in the mashed bananas and creamy peanut butter until everything is well incorporated. If you're using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter as well.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 7-inch loaf pan. Carefully add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place the trivet in the pot and set the loaf pan on top of the trivet.
  6. Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and make sure the vent is set to sealing. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting and set the timer for 60 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before quick-releasing any remaining pressure.
  7. Carefully remove the loaf pan from the Instant Pot and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious Instant Pot Peanut Butter Banana Bread!

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Try adding walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
