Peanut Butter Banana Bread

When it comes to banana bread I have been a one trick pony my whole life. I grew up eating and baking Mimi’s Banana Bread. Occasionally I have tried other recipes but none has compared to my mom’s recipe. A few weeks ago we had some leftover ripe bananas at the radio station. I offered to bring them home and bake something with them to bring in the next week. I search for a new twist on banana bread, and I found a few. I decided to try the Peanut Butter Banana Bread recipe from Real Mom Kitchen.

I love peanut butter and banana together, I like it in my sandwiches and in my smoothies. I decided it would work as a sweet bread too so I whipped up a batch and brought it to work. The peanut butter banana bread got rave reviews. Some people thought it needed more peanut butter, and I agree with that assessment. In the recipe I give a range for how much peanut butter should be in the recipe, taste your batter and decide for yourself. I was told by one friend that Elvis would approve of the recipe…so there’s that.
