Peanut Butter Banana Bars

Monday, March 25, 2013

I've always been fascinated by the combination of peanut butter and bananas. Honestly, though, I have been a bit skeptical about that pairing. It just seemed like an odd combination. To decide once and for all if I'm a peanut butter/banana supporter, I made these bars with a big dose of each. The verdict? I'm in.

I do so love coconut. That love, however, is not proportional to the number of recipes on this blog that feature coconut. Quinn doesn't like it one bit, so I don't use it that much.

Cake mixes can be a great baking shortcut and sometimes a big life saver. It's also a sentimental thing to me. My mother was a big believer in cake mixes.

I tend to become utterly engrossed in things I love. That is how I've ended up hoarding cookbooks, dreaming of Yankees season tickets, living in New York City, and, of course, writing and baking for this blog.
