\"12884500_10153968110333077_501771940_n\"What can possibly be bad about the delicious combination of chocolate, peanut butter and bananas?! Yup, nothing at all! So today I went a little cuckoo for that particular combination and came up with not one but two<\/em> fabulous new recipes! But I was also feeling lazy and not in the mood to do a lot of measuring or mess with fancy flours (which I have definitely been known to do!) so for these two recipes I went straight for my tried and true King Arthur GF baking mixes, available at most supermarkets. If you want to check out my Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips<\/a> that recipe can be found here.

      5. Bake for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (longer baking times if you fill the tins more full)<\/li>\n
