I love making banana bread.  There are always extra bananas around (as I am the only one in the house who eats them), so I have a long list of banana recipes to try.  I saw this one on the cover of Cooking Light and since PB and bananas are one of my favorite combos, I knew I had to try it.  See full recipe.

And then there were two.  One of my bananas was sacrificed to a smoothie yesterday. I used a newer banana to get the full 1 ½ cups needed for this recipe.

I collected my ingredients, which is always a nice place to start.  I realized I don’t have peanuts, but I figured it would be okay without.

I added my wet ingredients.  And then my dry.  I don’t have allspice, but substituted nutmeg and ground cloves.

Then I added my dry to my wet ingredient.  I used the mixer until almost everything was combined and then stirred the rest.  Into the oven it goes…

Since this bread is going into the freezer for next year, CL recommends waiting to make the glaze.  The whole house smells delicious…it’s hard to resist cutting off a slice!  Something to look forward to in 2011!
