Some of you may be thinking, peanut butter and pumpkin?...Together? Really?!
Well I had my doubts too, so you're not the only one. I really didn't know what to expect when I concocted this healthy peanut butter pumpkin bread recipe in my head. Honestly, my first attempt wasn't a success. I made two notes in my recipe book for my next attempt...more peanut butter and more sugar.
Thankfully, attempt number two was a home run! It's also when I got the idea to use this insanely delicious Greek yogurt drizzle as a topping.
The second batch of pumpkin bread just had the perfect balance of peanut butter, sweetness, and spiciness. It's truly everything I wanted it to be.
If you love peanut butter like me, then you'll love this!

Deb!
It's been 6 months in the making. It took me for-ev-er to get this up and running. So glad it is though. I'm extremely happy with what I was able to accomplish. I definitely want to do more savory stuff! I'm happy my recipes have helped with your reverse!

I made these as donuts - OMG! So good.
That sounds pretty great! I was actually working on another donut recipe today.
