Peanut Butter Banana Bread

I swear some days I think my cat gets into the peanut butter jar,

really he smells like peanut butter.

I don’t know how that can be, but it’s true.

So if I pick him up, do you know what happens…

YES, I want peanut butter!

Well if you like peanut butter like I do then you are in for a REAL treat with this one,

The peanut butter glaze puts this RIGHT over the TOP!

Trust me, this is peanut butter heaven!

I mixed some peanut butter into the batter and then placed the remaining peanut butter by teaspoons onto the top of the batter,

then swirl the peanut butter into the batter with a toothpick or knife.

Let the banana bread cool.

you will find the Peanut Butter Icing Recipe Here, to make it thinner to pour I added a more water until it reached a pouring consistency.

Place the cut pieces of banana bread on a rack on top of a baking sheet and pour the peanut butter glaze icing over top, I used a silicone brush to smooth it out so it dripped to the sides if it pooled up to much on top and then let the icing dry. well I did have one piece while it was wet, I couldn’t resist.
