Ricky's Peanut Butter Banana Bread


What's better than a warm piece of bread with a cup of coffee in the morning? NOTHING!

My friend inspired me to make this peanut butter banana bread, she's also my guinea pig for all my recipes, so I thought I would help brighten her day with this bread since she tries everything I make, good and bad.

I know you might be saying this is going against my "healthy" food standard, but this is the healthiest bread you could possibly make, any closer and you would just have a pile of flour and with the Lola Apples pinky promise, i promise that its still delicious.

You can't deprive yourself of sweet treats all the time. Sweet treats make people happy, and who doesn't want to be happy. but the key to not gaining weight and staying healthy is MODERATION & PORTION CONTROL. Keep to those to rules and you'll won't be reaching for your elastic waist pants.
