What is Banana Peanut Butter Bread?
Banana bread is made by adding mashed bananas to your general cake dough that is kept a little low on the sweetness to make it more balanced in the end. The end result tastes moist and soft and has a more dense texture than regular bread. It can be eaten by itself or enjoyed with some sweet spread or just some softened butter spread over it. A banana bread goes really well with peanut butter hence this recipe has peanut butter inside the batter as well as a honey and peanut butter glaze.
