Best Ever Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Okay - this banana bread was so good that I am posting it on here so that I will never forget the recipe!

Plus... now you all can have the recipe too :D

I made mine in a mini loaf pan because there is no way I can eat a whole loaf by myself! I found the mini loaf pans at Schnucks (our grocery store) and got super excited cuz now I can make bread! When I did it, I quartered the recipe and that worked perfectly. The quantities for the full loaf is below but the 1/4 loaf is in parenthesis! Enjoy!




Peanut Butter Banana Bread - 1 loaf (1/4 loaf)

1 cup (1/4 cup) brown sugar
2/3 cup (1/6 cup) of organic peanut butter
4 Tbsp (2 Tbsp) strawberry yogurt split in two
1 cup (1/4 cup) mashed banana (1 small banana for the 1/4 loaf)
1 2/3 cup (1/4 plus 1/6) cup of flour
1 tsp (1/4 tsp) baking soda
1/4 tsp (pinch) of baking powder
1/4 tsp (pinch) of salt

Preheat oven 350° F. Grease and flour a 1-pound loaf pan. In a large bowl, beat sugar and peanut butter until fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons of the yogurt until blended then add bananas and the remaining yogurt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds.
Stir in remaining ingredients until just combined then pour into loaf pan. Bake 55-60 minutes (40 minutes) or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf. Cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove to cooling rack. Wrap tightly in wax paper and then in a layer of aluminum foil. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
