Today is my friend and neighbor, Hollie’s, birthday. I baked up a special loaf of peanut buttery banana bread for us to nibble on with our coffee this morning to celebrate.

Peanut Butter Studded Banana Bread

I decided instead of the normal walnuts or chocolate chips, it needed a little something different…

2 cups flour, sifted

1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted in with the flour

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt, sifted with dry ingredients

3 bananas, mashed

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup Reese’s peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350*.

Cream butter and sugar.

Add in all other ingredients and mix.

Stir in peanut butter chips.

Pour into a greased and floured pan.

Bake for 60-70 minutes.

Warm banana bread with unexpected little pockets of peanut buttery goodness?

Yes, please!

The happiest of birthdays to you, Hollie!

What kind of monkey business are you up to today?
