Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. I am done. I finished my last essay this morning, so I am as relaxed as can be. Nothing could make me feel better right now. Nothing!
Well, yeah.. Maybe something. And that something is almost always baking. And one of my most recent obsessions in the field of baking is making banana bread. And since the Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread that I made a few weeks back disappeared so quickly, I decided to make another peanut butter banana bread.
Now, featuring glaze.
This Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Glaze is the peanut butter lovers dream. It might be my new favorite bread recipe. Or should I call it a banana cake? Basically the same thing at this point.
Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Glaze Ingredients
You just need a couple of pantry essentials to make this peanut butter banana bread recipe. All you need is:
Banana Bread
- all purpose flour
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- baking soda
- salt
- ground cinnamon
- ground allspice
- creamy peanut butter
- over-ripe bananas
- oil
- eggs
- vanilla extract
Peanut Butter Icing
- powdered sugar
- milk
- creamy peanut butter
Tips
Storage: Wrap the bread in plastic wrap, then store this banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also store this quick bread in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Do I need to use creamy peanut butter? You can substitute chunky peanut butter for the actual banana bread, but for the glaze I would recommend either creamy or natural peanut butter. This is because crunchy peanut butter will leave some nuts on the top of the cake which may distract from the overall presentation.
Variations
Add in your favorite mix-ins. I love adding in some chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups if you want more of a peanut butter flavor.
Make them into mini loaves. Instead of making one big loaf, divide the batter into mini loaf pans. These make the perfect gifts. Just make sure to decrease the cooking time, and keep an eye on them while they are cooking!
