Remember when you were a child and you’d come running in the house, starving from being at the playground all afternoon, or you’d come in freezing and needing a sweet treat from playing outside all morning on a snow day? There were only a few things that would satisfy that very specific craving, but one of the best combinations that would do the trick for me was a banana and fluffernutter sandwich on soft, thick white bread and my fluffernutter banana bread recipe mimics that exact dish perfectly!
This is a bread that suits that description perfectly.
Looks can really be deceiving because this recipe truly is quick and easy!
In a medium size mixing bowl:
- Mash together three very ripe bananas to create a paste like texture.
- Melt one stick of salted butter and pour that over the bananas.
- Splash in one tablespoon of pure vanilla extract.
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar. (If you enjoy a really sweet bread, or your bananas aren’t quite as ripe as they should be for this recipe, you can go up to 1/2 cup!)
- Crack two eggs into the bowl as well to finish off your wet mixture and fold everything in until fully combined.
- Sift in two cups of all purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to allow the bread to properly rise when it’s baking in the oven.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until they become one.
- Lightly grease a nonstick bread pan and pour your banana bread mixture inside.
Now it is time for the addition of the star of the show!
The fluffernutter!
- Swirl in scoops of creamy peanut butter and sticky marshmallow fluff right on the top of our unbaked loaf until your heart is content! At first it will seem difficult to spin the additions into the bread, and get them to push down into the dough, but it eventually starts to work its way in with the more you add.
- Garnish the top with teeny tiny mini marshmallows and snowflake sprinkles.
Bake this beautiful bread at 350 degrees of 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out “clean”.
- I put quotations around the phrase clean, due to the fact that it won’t exactly come out “clean” because of the addition of the fluffernutter. However, there should be no visible batter on your pick!
- Once, the bread comes out of the oven, it is important to let it cool! If you have a good pan and it was properly greased, it will slid out without any hassle whatsoever!
Now, you know what time it is! It is time to CUT & GARNISH!
- When serving a crowd, or even just your loved ones that you live with; placing piles of the peanut butter that you used in the loaf, along with more sprinkles and marshmallows are the perfect addition to your serving techniques. Food is not just about eating to live, it’s about living, it’s about enjoying life in it’s fullest form, so when consuming food, especially a sweet delicacy, the way it’s presented is so extremely important to me. Think about when you dine out at a restaurant.. you’re sipping a glass of something bubbly, buttering a fluffy slice of bread, and your plate comes out, it’s looking absolutely stunning, but what if it wasn’t? You would be highly disappointed with a great feeling of how you just wasted your money. The same should go for when you make your own food. Impress yourself! Make yourself feel like you’re in your own little restaurant! Romanticize your meals!
I am fully aware that this is the second banana bread I am sharing with you Diamonds this year in 2026 already, but I just can’t help it! I can’t stop! I love making banana bread and I feel like I’ve perfected it, and once something is perfected, it can be done in endless variations. Ones that are just too darn good not to be shared!
