A successful experiment


Three hours ago, Mason and I decided to try a baking experiment. With the help of several quick bread recipes and a bit of whimsical thinking we concocted "Peanut Butter and Banana Bread". It was, apparently, a successful experiment as this is all the remains a few short hours later. And even that last bit was gone before I began typing the post.

Mix together:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
3 bananas that are too ripe to eat
1/2 cup milk
1 Tblsp vanilla

Then add:

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

*I did end up adding an extra 1/4 cup of milk as it was a bit too thick. But I used powdered milk (added 1/2 cup water and a mighty handful of milk powder) so my measurements may have been a bit off.
*The only possible improvement would have been to add chocolate chips. We didn't have any though.

Bake in a 13x9 casserole dish that's been sprayed with oil spray at 350 until done (you know, the old toothpick in the center thing).
