I had some bananas that got super ripe so I decided to make some banana bread. I only made the bread and also left out the raisins and nuts (I would have used them but I have a 10 month old daughter that I wanted to also let enjoy this banana bread, so therefore it could have not nuts as soon as I could smell it in the oven I knew it was going to be good, sure enough it was amazing it was so moist! my husband and his buddy kept raving about it as they were eating it! This recipe is definitely going in my book!

This is DELICIOUS!!! I skipped using the peanut butter and the peanuts, I'll try that next time. I made this as a finger food for a church function and it got raves. I used chocolate chips instead of raisins. The batter is so rich looking, I knew this would be amazing after it was baked. Make this if you like banana bread!!!
