I am packing my kindergartner’s breakfast and lunch for school, so I am frequently on the hunt for easy and homemade meal ideas.  She is a bit of a picky eater, tending like most children to love sweeter foods, so I have found that home-baked breads with nuts and fruits are a great breakfast option for her.

I usually do my weekly grocery shopping at Walmart, and when I went last week, I found Peter Pan® Simply Ground peanut butter, and loved that it didn’t contain any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, and promised to be creamy with a little bit of crunch.  I had a feeling my daughter would love the creaminess of the peanut butter in a bread, especially with a hint of crunchiness to make the texture more interesting.

I had the idea to combine the peanut butter with bananas to make a breakfast bread!

The bread came out great! It has the wonderful balance of sweet bananas, creamy and satisfying peanut butter, and the added crunch of Peter Pan® Simply Ground Honey Roast peanut butter. It is the perfect peanut butter for a home-baked bread, and my daughter is a huge fan!

• 1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lighly grease a 5×9 bread and loaf pan (you can also use muffin tins if you prefer).

In a large bowl, cream together coconut oil and sugar with an electric beater.  Add in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.  Stir in Peter Pan® Simply Ground peanut butter and mashed bananas.

Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick in the bread comes out clean (muffins take about 20 – 25 minutes).
