This bread is fantastic!
You must make it soon, really, I beg you! Keith can't get enough of it, and claims it's even better than Banana Sour Cream Bread, which is saying a lot.
I made a few alterations to the Cooking Light recipe, as suggested by Culinary Covers (one of my favorite foodie blogs).
Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Cooking spray
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Cooking spray
(optional glaze)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon 1% lowfat milk
1 Tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon 1% lowfat milk
1 Tablespoon creamy peanut butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare bread, combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed. Add granulated and brown sugars; beat until blended.
3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through allspice) in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended. Pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray (I made mine into 4 mini-loaves and they was perfect!). Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean (I would bake for less time and check them if you're doing mini loaves). Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove bread from pan; cool.
4. Optional - to prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle glaze over bread.

If you plan on eating the bread on the same day, then the glaze would be great. But, for keeping purposes it won't last very well. Plus, I really don't think it needs anything extra!
I wrapped up a little loaf in parchment paper as a gift for a sweet friend. I used my favorite self-inking stamp by PSA Essentials and stamped a little cardboard gift tag. If you have anyone on your Christmas list that loves to cook, this little stamp is a perfect gift!!
