Peanut Butter & Jam Banana Bread

Bananas are never wasted in my house, even when they're really speckled. This actually makes them perfect for baking as at this stage they're super sweet.

My protein banana bread is one of my favourite recipes (nothing beats the smell of a loaf in the oven!) but this time I thought i'd give it a slightly more indulgent twist with some peanut butter & a swirl of raspberry jam.

This one is delicious on it's own or served as a dessert with custard.

If you want to make the recipe a little lower in fat just switch the peanut butter for 20g powdered peanut butter or peanut flour.
