Description
Reese’s banana bread is a rich, moist loaf packed with peanut butter, mashed bananas, and chunks of mini Reese’s. A sweet, candy-studded twist on classic banana bread.
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar (or ½ cup sugar + ½ cup light brown sugar)
8 oz mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped (reserve a handful for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×5″ loaf pan with parchment or grease with nonstick spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, peanut butter, oil, eggs, and sugar until smooth.
Stir dry ingredients into the wet just until combined—don’t overmix.
Fold in most of the chopped Reese’s, reserving some for the top.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining Reese’s cups on top.
Bake for 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use creamy peanut butter (not natural) for best consistency.
Freeze Reese’s cups before chopping to help them hold shape.
Swap oil for melted butter for a richer crumb.
For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or a peanut butter glaze.
