I had never used yogurt or flaxseed in bread, but it turned out great!
We skipped the glaze (I know, crazy talk, right?!), but it was still delicious, and I bet the glaze makes it even better!

Peanut butter is whipped into the basic recipe for a moist banana bread with a hint of nutty flavor. A small amount of chopped roasted peanuts offers delightfully surprising crunch.
Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)
Ingredients
Bread:
* 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana
* 1 (6-ounce) container plain fat-free yogurt
* 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/3 cup applesauce
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
* 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon ground allspice
* 2 tablespoons chopped dry-roasted peanuts
* Cooking spray
Glaze:
* 1/3 cup powdered sugar
* 1 tablespoon 1% low-fat milk
* 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare bread, combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed. Add granulated and brown sugars; beat until blended.
3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through allspice) in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove bread from pan; cool.
4. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle glaze over bread.
This is the info for Cooking Light's original recipe, but I lightened it up even more by using applesauce in place of the butter and 1 of the eggs (so I only use 1 egg instead of 2 and no butter at all), more yogurt, and PB2 (powdered peanut butter) in place of regular, so my version is even healthier and yet still delicious!
