Peanut Butter Banana Bread

My intention for this blog was not for it to be a recipe blog (which is what it looks like at the moment). However, recipes are easy posts (well, easy in that most of the ones I've posted lately are recipes I've already posted elsewhere *coughs*) and I'm all about easy. I hope that in the next few weeks very soon I'll have something more substantial (and interesting) to read about, but right now I'm going to spam you with more recipes!


Peanut Butter Banana Bread

I had some bananas that were on the verge of death, and I'd come across a recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Bread somewhere on the internet... so I thought "why not!?" I was a little wary of the recipe I found, so I made some rather big changes. Here's what I came up with:

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

1 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup Splenda Brown Sugar (or 1/2 cup of regular brown sugar)
1/4 cup Splenda (or regular sugar)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
3/8 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Grease a large bread loaf pan.

Mix the sugars and oil together. Beat in the eggs. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir together until mixed well. This is a really thick gooey "dough." Pour into the pan and cook for about 25 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for another 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

P.S. Don't forget to put in the baking soda. Really, don't. You will regret it.
