This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread recipe was inspired by the rare chance of excess Halloween candy (or maybe a regrettable sweet tooth splurge.) We can pretend the added bananas make the bread just a tad bit healthier…
Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread Recipe
INGREDIENTS
4 meduim ripened and mashed bananas (400g)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
