Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3–4 ripe bananas (heavily speckled for maximum sweetness and moisture)
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar or maple syrup for a healthier option)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan twist)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bananas: Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky to retain some texture in the bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy to ensure a silky batter.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl to evenly distribute rising agents and seasoning.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: Fold in chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups carefully, spreading the chocolatey goodness throughout the bread.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Chop peanut butter cups moderately to enjoy pockets of melted chocolate.
  • Ensure the oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
  • Allow bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
