Few things in life pair better than peanut butter and chocolate, but when you add bananas to the mix? Now, that’s a party! We amplified a classic banana bread batter with creamy peanut butter and baked it into a tall loaf that’s enrobed in a decadent, crunchy peanut and chocolate glaze. We suggest having a tall glass of cold milk on hand for maximum enjoyment.
