🍴 Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
¾ cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
Sliced banana and extra peanut butter or melted chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and well blended.
3. Add in the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture is creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s cups until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. For extra indulgence, top with sliced bananas, more chocolate chips, and a drizzle of melted peanut butter or chocolate if desired.
8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).
9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions:
This bread is perfect served slightly warm with a cup of coffee or cold milk. You can even toast a slice and spread extra peanut butter on top for a next-level experience.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
