I love food holidays and when I found out that March 1st was “National Peanut Butter Lovers Day” I was super psyched! I knew I just had to create something fantastic to share with all of you and get this holiday started on the right foot.
As a child I remember eating peanut butter sandwiches ( yes just peanut butter) and drinking milk to wash it down. I LOVED Peanut Butter and still do to this day. Of course these days we have a million and one kinds of butter ( Almond, Cashew, etc…) and yes I love those too! 🙂 Creating this recipe came from both my love of PB but also my love of banana bread and I thought, hey why can’t I make Peanut Butter bread? I mean that’s allowed right? This bread came out so good and instantly reminded me of my childhood the second I took a bite. I added Nutella® as another throwback to my childhood, because I mean really, come on, mixing these two together was the best decision ever and I hope you all agree when you make this and take your first bite.
If you want it without the glaze, by all means go for it! I just had to go overkill on the peanut butter and add it as a topping too. 😀 I never tried it with jam or jelly but I am sure it is equally as delicious.
So please, join me in celebrating this fun holiday and whip this recipe up!

Did I put enough glaze? 😀
Perfect treat!
