Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Cream

Gluten Free Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Cream

The last few months have felt like a blur. We have been back and forth between our fake home and our real home more times than I can count. From the looks of my car, you would think I had taken up residence in it. I am so ready to get back into some type of routine. I just don’t do well out of my element.

This Saturday, we finally had a day where we were not obligated to be anywhere and it was sheer bliss. Don’t get me wrong, I have adored my time with family and friends at home, but I needed a little down time.

I spent the better part of the day baking in my pajamas and binge watching Friends on Netflix. It was just the ticket, too. I feel a bit more refreshed and ready to tackle the week ahead. Isn’t it funny how something so small as a lazy weekend can make such a big difference?

Gluten Free Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Cream

 

This bread is based off of my go to Chocolate Chip Cookie Bread recipe. I use Gluten Free Bisquick as my flour in addition to Old Fashioned Oats. I love adding oats to baked goods because of the great, hearty texture it adds. Then of course I threw in a few bananas and made a peanut butter cream to stick inside.

The Peanut Butter Cream is just a mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. You can leave it out if you prefer, but I love peanut butter and banana together so it was hard for me to resist.

Ingredients

  • For the Banana Bread
  • 11/2 cup Gluten Free Bisquick
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned oats (I used Bob's Red Mill GF)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix (5.25 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 11/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • For the Peanut Butter Cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, salt, vanilla pudding mix, cinnamon, bananas and sugar, combine well.
  3. Add vanilla, oil, milk, eggs. Make sure mixture is totally combined and bananas are well incorporated.
  4. In a small bowl mix the cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter together. It will be thick.
  5. Grease a mini loaf tin and place a small scoop of batter inside. This should be just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add a spoonful of the peanut butter cream.
  7. Top with additional batter until the pan is 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and golden brown.
  9. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
  10. **Tips**
  11. This made 8 mini loaves and three muffins for me. So note you will have a little extra left over.
  12. It should fit a standard 12 count muffin tin well, bake for 20-25 minutes
  13. It will also work in regular size loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour.

    Seriously, what is it about baking in sweatpants that just makes everything ok again? I so feel you there! I came home from crazy holiday traveling and roasted a chicken...probably the opposite of most people but I just needed to get back in my kitchen and back to normal. The bread looks awesome - nice work!

    These mini banana breads are the cutest, Annie! So fun to eat or to give as gifts. And I absolutely love that peanut butter cream on top! I think I could eat a whole bowl of that with just my spoon! Such a creative touch. Pinned!

    I've been binge watching Friends on Netflix too! Twins! It's funny, because I have all the episodes on DVD, but never watch them. Who has time to get up and actually put a DVD in a DVD player? Not me. This banana bread recipe sounds amazing! I've got to try that peanut butter cream!
