Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Last winter, while staying at my parents house, my mom made this wonderful peanut butter banana bread from a recipe she found in a magazine. I had absolutely no problems getting lots and lots of this bread into my face. My mom, on the other hand, was not a fan. But I don't see how you could not like something that has a peanut butter glaze on it! I forgot about this bread when I returned home. Last month I went in my freezer for something, and realized I had a huge stash of bananas in there, that fell out as I opened the door. Whenever I have bananas that start going black, I put them in the freezer, you never know when you're going to want to make a smoothie or banana bread! So as all the bananas tumbled out, I realized I needed to makes something with them asap. I usually use the same recipe for banana bread, but I wanted to try something different. So I looked up recipes online. I found that another food blogger that I occasionally read had recently posted a recipe for peanut butter banana bread, and it just happened to be the same recipe my mom had made. So I made it, and still liked it, and Sean seemed to have no problems getting lots of this into his face either! Annnd it's a little healthy since there's whole wheat flour, bananas, and ground flaxseed in it! Yes!!
