For the bread:
- 2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups self-rising flour
For mixing:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 small ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups chopped Reese’s cups
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two loaf pans.
- Cream peanut butter, butter, and vanilla: Using an electric mixer, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla until fluffy.
- Add sugars: Mix in granulated and brown sugars until fully combined.
- Add eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add flour and yogurt: Gradually add flour and yogurt, alternating and mixing until fully combined.
- Fold in bananas and Reese’s: Gently fold in mashed bananas and chopped Reese’s cups.
- Bake: Divide batter between pans and bake at 350°F for 35 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can add a sprinkle of extra chopped Reese’s cups on top before baking for a more decadent look.
- This bread freezes well, so you can make a double batch and store one for later.
