Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Loaf

If you are anything like me, you pretty much only bake banana loaf when you have brown spotty bananas to use up!  Well, this time I didn't really want plain ol' banana loaf.  I felt like having something a little bit different, so I created a new recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Loaf!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we have been!

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Loaf

2/3 c. unsalted butter - softened
2 eggs
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. skim milk
2/3 c. PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (I got mine on Amazon.com)
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 c. quick oats
2 c. all purpose flour
3 mashed bananas

Combine butter, eggs, sugar, milk and powdered peanut butter.  Mix very well as the powdered peanut butter tends to stay lumpy for a long time.  Combine dry ingredients and add to wet mixture.  Mix well.  Add the pre-mashed bananas. (I have noticed that if you just gently fold in the bananas without beating thoroughly, the loaf rises much nicer)  Bake for 45-50 minutes at 325°.  Cool a few minutes before removing from pan, then place on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before slicing. (unless you are impatient like me and want to eat it warm fresh out of the oven!)

Bon Apetit!

*note: I sprinkled oats on top of the loaf before baking, but that was really just so it was aesthetically pleasing.  :)
