Peanut Butter Banana Bread


I'm sure you can tell my love for banana and peanut butter on this blog. I wanted to make use of my Reese's peanut butter cups and came across this recipe online. It's a basic banana bread with peanut butter and peanut butter cups mixed in. The bread was slightly dry but the chocolate bits were really good. It's a quick, mix everything together recipe and kept well for a few days.  I think I'll add some yoghurt next time I make this.

I'm entering this to AlphaBakes, a monthly blogging challenge that I co-host with Caroline from Caroline Makes who is the host for September. The letter is P for peanut butter.


I'm also entering this to United Bakes of America hosted by Gem from Cupcake Crazy Gem. These miniature peanut butter cups came all the way from America!

  2. Hmm, looks like I need to try the PB and banana combo - I love PB (luckily, given that they're pretty much the only 'nuts' I can have!) and ought to bake with it more!

  7. Yay for peanut butter banana bread! Love that your cups came all the way from America! but did you know Asda now sells the mini reese's cups too? I have been overdosing on sooo much peanut butter stuff since we got here! Also I meant to ask before have you ever tried peanut butter chicken before? it's a savoury dinner dish that is super delish. My mother in law has an awesome recipe if you want me to pass it along to you! I'm sure your peanut butter loving self would love it! Thanks so much for entering this month!
