Crunchy-Munchy Bread

The peanut butter flavor in this bread is so yummy, there's no need to adorn it. It's perfect as an after-school snack. You can add the peanuts and apple when the Raisin/Nut cycle beeps, if you'd like. They'll hold up a little better.

Banana Oatmeal Bread

You'll be proud of this bread because it's beautifully shaped and luscious tasting. Each slice is moist and bursting with banana flavor. (Note: Use very, very ripe bananas for the best results … you know, the ones that are about a day away from being tossed out.)
