This SunButter Banana Bread has a swirl of sunflower butter swirled into the batter, which makes this a delicious school-safe loaf.

The other day, my hubby bought 2 bags of bananas. And I totally forgot about them.
So when I discovered them all spotted and brown, I knew I had to make banana bread.
The rest of the bananas went into the freezer, for smoothies, like this SunButter Banana Date Smoothie or green smoothies.
The funny thing is that my hubby doesn't like bananas.
But he's a good sport. He always tries out my creations without grudge.
And when it came to this SunButter Banana Bread, it actually got a thumbs up from him, which was surprising to me. He tells me that he's warming up to banana, which is a huge step for him!
This classic Banana Bread gets an update with SunButter added into the batter.
My husband said that the nuttiness from the sunflower seed butter made the banana bread more palatable to his taste.
So if you know people who aren't fans of banana, maybe they'll take to this version of my SunButter Banana Bread.
I personally like it toasted with an extra smear of SunButter over the top.
Just a note: the banana bread may turn green in the middle, but that's because the chlorophyll in sunflower butter reacts with baking powder/baking soda -- there's no change in taste and it's nothing to worry about!
If you make this recipe, let me know! I'd love to see your creations! Tag me @siftandsimmer on Instagram or leave me a comment/rating below.
