A Twist on Banana Bread

Never fail, I buy bananas at the store thinking I will eat them and they end up sitting on my shelf for a week and a half untouched. Finally I realize that they are getting browner and I think about eating them, but I don't. So... usually I end up making banana bread out of them. Today I decided to spice it up a little and bake it with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I got the idea while on Pinterest on day at work. Cooks and Cups a great food blog is where I got the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz bag of Reese's mini cups

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree
  2. Grease your loaf pan (I used an 8 x 4 pan) with Pam
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  4. In a large bowl stir together bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until just combined. batter will be lumpy.
  6. Fold in Reese's mini cups and spread batter into prepared pan.
  7. Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove form loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack.
Sorry no pictures, I need to get better at that. Enjoy! :)
