Reeses Penaut Butter Cup Banana Bread

I have seen this idea on Pinterest for ages. It always sounded like the perfect combination. And making plain banana bread last week had me still in the mood for banana bread. So here we are. I used the same recipe from last week but adjusted to make peanut butter and peanut butter cup banana bread. 

This bread was great. Everyone seemed to like it more than me. I like peanut butter. And I do enjoy it with chocolate and dessert. But I don't like a lot of peanut butter in desserts. I can't do peanut butter frosting, something about it just doesn't sit right with me. I know its weird. 

Anyways next time I think I want to make a plain banana bread and mix in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and no actual peanut butter in the batter. But this was still wonderful, I highly suggest you give it a go! 

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Butter melted 
1 Cup Sugar 
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
2 Eggs 
1 TSP Vanilla Extract 
1 1/2 Cup Flour 
1 TSP Baking Soda 
1/2 TSP Salt  
1/2 Cup Sour Cream 
3 Smashed Bananas 

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9X5 loaf pan. 
2. Melt butter. In a large bowl mix together the butter and sugar. Add in peanut butter, mix until well combined. Then add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. 
3. In a bowl mash bananas.  Fold in bananas and sour cream into the bread mixture. 
4. Pour into prepared pan. If you are a fatty like me slice butter thin and place on top of batter sprinkle with sugar.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Let cool.

Banana Bread







So there I was again, an abundance of over ripe banans sitting on the kitchen countertop. Banana bread would be made tomorrow I thought. The banana bread reciepe we use in our family is good, not great, but good. 


I set out to find a recipe with sour cream, because, well sour cream makes everything better. I found one that claimed to be the best and and it did include sour cream. So I went for it. And yes it was amazing. SOOO moist. If something is moist I am in love. Moist baked goods are the best. The moisture level and can make or break a recipe. 


Anyways, Yes I will make this every time I want banana bread. And I do look forward to making a peanut butter version, chocolate version, biscoff.. you get the point. :) Anyways this was a one bowl, five minute kind of recipe so get to it!
