Peanut Banana Bread
I had a gorgeous breakfast this morning and was so excited to share it with you…
that is, until I accidentally deleted the picture 
Ugh, it irritated me so badly that I deleted it because it was such a yummy creation. I made an egg white and spinach omelet with chunky salsa for dipping alongside two Morningstar breakfast patties. Sorry I can’t share the picture!!
While I ate my breakfast (and Bill slept), my delicious creation was in the oven baking: peanut banana bread.
Here’s my recipe…
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry, then mix the wet, then mix them both together! Mix until well combined, I mashed out the chunks of banana until somewhat smooth. Pour into a sprayed cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on your bread towards the end, it should be golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes and then slice and enjoy!
When Bill woke up, I served him a slice with a little bit of Smart Balance and had a couple bites of his yummy portion. It’s a pretty dense banana bread, kind of sweet (but you could easily omit the sugar for a healthier version), and all in all quite tasty. I loved the different texture and crunch that the peanuts provided.
Now I’m off to get some laundry & errands done around the house, we might take a trip to the furniture store to scope some more stuff out, of course while we sing our Fight Song “FLY EAGLES FLY… On the road to victory…” 
what a wonderful recipe! It looks fantastic.
enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

So we’re not going to the Super Bowl.
I thought we had it, and then that last touchdown with three minutes left… that was pretty tough to watch! Well, at least we still have the Phillies’ World Series victory! 
The bread looks delicious, as does the lasagna in the next post.
Have a safe trip!
