Peanut Butter Banana Bread (See Jane Bake)
When I got home from work last night, some sad bananas I had bought the week before caught my eye. Although I like them, I’m generally not inclined to reach for one as a snack and Eric was in Vegas all weekend so they just sat…untouched (his favorite, along with grapes). Knowing that he wouldn’t be eating four that evening before they turned, I was determined to make something out of them; I’m embarrassed to say that I couldn’t think of what to make on my own. As soon as I typed “banana” into Google, “banana bread” came up. Ashamed that I didn’t think of the most common banana recipe known to man on my own, I quickly forgot my feelings once I saw “peanut butter banana bread” pop up. I ended up using Joy the Baker’s recipe because not only does she make tasty things, she’s hilarious to boot.

Life lesson: when you encounter less than fresh bananas in life (see above picture), make banana bread.
Yum! Banana bread is by far my favorite baked good!
PIECE OF CAKE. PEACE OF MIND.
I could really go for some banana bread! Everyone seems to be making it at the same time lol–bananas on the brain!
I love banana bread!
banana bread warm with a bit of butter. I don't know why the combination drives me wild but it does! GUILTY. Thanks for sharing Jane. I'm glad you were diligent in the task of putting those foul bananas to use. lol

That looks delicious! I would have never thought to add peanut butter- Yum Yum Yum!!!
Everytime I make banana bread it comes out kinda dry…any suggestions?
I love banana bread. I could eat it all day long, which wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. My grandmother has the best recipe ever. I should make it and post the recipe for everyone!
mmm i love banana bread …and adding peanut butter sounds even better! xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
If it were possibly to live off banana bread and not get violently ill at some point, I would. Love it!

I always buy bananas but sometimes don't get around to eating them before they turn. I can't bear to throw them out so I always make banana bread or banana muffins.
Waste not, want not. Plus it's delicious!
True statement! It looks yummy!

@taylor that's so funny, i ate a slice last night with greek yogurt!

You just blew my mind. And I can't stop salivating. Sheesh.

beautiful post honey =D

Yum! I always forget to buy bananas in advance of when I want to make banana bread so that they get nice and soft. I usually don't buy them at all – so when the banana bread mood strikes I'm left in a bad place with no ripe bananas! I'll have to add this recipe to my "to try" list. I trust anything Joy the Baker makes, and this seems like something I could actually do in my own kitchen as opposed to some of her more complicated recipes!
This looks so tasty! I definitely want to try it out soon.
