Recipe 1

My first recipe was Peanut Butter Banana Bread.

I've made banana bread using this recipe before:


1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
4 eggs
2 cups (4-5 medium) mashed ripe bananas
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease the bottom only of a 13 by 9 pan. In a large bowl, beat sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add bananas, milk, and vanilla; blend well. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Add to banana mixture; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into greased pan.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.


I substituted 1/4 cup of the butter for peanut butter and added 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the bananas, but you should be able to add more if you want a stronger peanut butter flavor. Also, I decreased the baking time to 40 minutes.


The banana bread looked like this:
