This bread is loved by all who's tried it, especially my kids. I've handed out so many copies of this recipe over the years. It certainly doesn't last long. I made 3 mini loaves and my son already has the first one demolished...LOL! He wouldn't wait until it cooled for me to frost, as you can see in the pictures. :) If you love the combo of peanut butter and banana's, you will love this bread. More photo's to follow, having some difficulty with my pictures today. Enjoy!
