Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups or Reese’s pieces
- Optional: ¼ cup chocolate chips or peanut butter drizzle for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in most of the chopped Reese’s, reserving a few for topping.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with remaining Reese’s and optional chocolate chips or drizzle.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Swirl extra peanut butter into the batter before baking for a marbled look.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
- Substitute chocolate chips and a spoonful of peanut butter if Reese’s aren’t available.
- Add a streusel topping or powdered sugar for a bakery-style finish.
- Great as muffins—just bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
