Reeses Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Change up your banana bread with the addition of peanut butter and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups in these Reeses Peanut Butter Banana Bread.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is filling the stockings. My husband and I aren’t big on giving lots of gifts to each other, but I do love to get stuff to fill his stocking. Nothing big, maybe some candy and a few small gifts, but it’s the little things that are fun.

Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were one of the candies that I put in our stockings this year. I can’t resist the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, so this has always been a favorite candy of mine. So when I saw this recipe on Picky Palate, I just knew that I would be making it.

I had never thought of adding peanut butter to banana bread. Throw in some chopped up mini Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, and I’m sold! And as luck would have it, I had a few super ripe bananas on the counter. This recipe makes 3 loaves, but I easily halved it, and I made mine in mini loaf pans. I hate to admit it, but although I intended to give most of these away, my husband and I ended up eating them all over the course of 3 days. They are that good. My husband still hasn’t stopped talking about them.
