Peanut Butter Banana Spread

Ever have a banana that looks like this, but you just don't feel like going through the hassle of making banana bread and feel really guilty about just tossing it?

I am a peanut butter fanatic!! When I see peanut butter I have to take a bite.... it is my weak spot. This spread is so yummy and so super easy to make. The possibilities of what you can do with it are endless.

Peanut Butter Banana Spread

1 Very Ripe Banana
1-2 TBLS Peanut Butter

Directions:
Mash your banana...this should take very little effort because it is almost mush

Add your peanut butter...

                                                                                                                   Mix together

If you are feeling like a chocolaty treat add 1 tsp of cocoa powder. Try using dark chocolate cocoa powder. By doing this you'll be adding antioxidants on top of the pros of banana's and peanut butter.

Ideas for your spread:
As a Sandwich
On Toast
In the middle or on top of a waffle or pancake
Topped on a muffin
Dip for Graham Crackers, Apples, Celery, Carrots
....just eat it plain!

And lastly, one of my favorite grilled sandwiches ever:
Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich
Butter some whole grain bread, slab your spread in the middle, and grill it. Viola! So Delicious and So YUMMY!

Enjoy!
