- This was an awesome bread. I used smooth peanut butter and increased the amount to 3/4 cup. I also added 3 oz of cream cheese (in place of the buttermilk) 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt. The bread has a very smooth and dense texture and is delish! Thanks for sharing.
- Was not to fond of this one. I put the 3/4 of peanut butter, teaspoon vanilla, a little salt, and 4 bananas. The peanut butter took over. Could not really taste the banana :(
- i followed the comments to add 3 oz. of cream cheese and 3/4 c of peanut butter and it was perfect!
- Used 4 large bananas, 3/4 cup peanut butter and added 1/2 cup quick cooking oats. Great flavor, will make again, thanks!
- After reading the reviews, I tweeked this a little bit. I added 1/4 cup of raw almond butter and 3/4 cup of organic creamy peanut butter. It turned out great and I only got one piece before my DH took the rest.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
