Wow, I don’t know if banana bread can get any better than this! Think about it…
-Banana and peanut butter are a match made in heaven.
-Banana bread is always more fun with a handful of chocolate chips tossed in.
-Everything is better when there is candy involved.
This recipe truly is the ultimate slice of banana bread heaven!

Congratulations to “DutchBakerGirl” on her winning recipe! You may also know Cathy Weichert from her successful mouth-watering blog, “The Dutch Baker’s Daughter.“
This recipe calls for Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups. You can buy the traditional size and chop them for the recipe. Or, if you want to try something a little fun, grab a bag of these “minis!” These are even smaller than the bite-sized peanut butter cups. They come already unwrapped and are about the size of a jumbo chocolate chip. I found this 8 ounce bag was just about 1 1/2 cups as called for in this recipe.
Can I even tell you how amazing my kitchen smelled while this was baking? It was hard not to gobble it down moments after it came out of the oven! I loved that the bread sliced perfectly and the peanut butter cups and chopped dark chocolate were evenly dispersed. Every bite was the ideal combination of sweet and salty!
Sinful…fantastically sinful…
Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread (click here to print recipe)
3 cups All Purpose Flour, divided
2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
4 Very Ripe Bananas, slightly mashed
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Sour Cream
2 Eggs
1/4 cup Coconut Oil or Canola Oil
1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 cups Bite-sized Peanut Butter Cups, or chopped peanut butter cups
1 (3- To 3.5-oz) Bar Premium Dark Chocolate, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; spray two 9×5” loaf pans with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups of the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
Fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat the bananas, peanut butter, sour cream, eggs, oil, brown sugar and vanilla until well blended, about 2 minutes. Spoon the flour mixture into the banana mixture and beat on low speed until just blended. Toss the peanut butter cups in the remaining ¼ cup flour (to help prevent sinking) and stir into the batter along with the chopped dark chocolate.
Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Looks good. Plan on trying. Wish you had a better print option tho, so we could just print out the recipe instead of 3 pages.
You could always copy and paste the recipe onto word and then you will only print off exactly what you want
Highlight the recipe and copy; then paste into word document. That way you get only what you want.

I don’t care for banana bread but looovee Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! I would like to put the candy in bread but without bananas. What would you suggest as an alternative?
Try apple sauce.
Great minds think alike! I just shared my Reese’s Banana Bread last week

Oh my gosh!!! I will have to try this on my cheat day! I absolutely love the sound of this combo. Can’t wait!
Do you think I would be able to substitute milk chocolate for the dark chocolate? Would it affect the taste that drastically?
I printed this recipe i want to try it sometime.
@Tish, I think that recipe looks better than the one that was just posted, in fact, I think I gained 5lbs just looking at the pictures of that loaf…lol
my kid and hubby went nuts for this it was so good i mean really good. I grated a fresh cniamon stick used 100 percent dark and chopped up some penut buter cups used peanut banana butter and 5 bannas we like our bananas love love my husband brought this into work and now I have request to make more .
Where can I find this pan? I looked on Nordi ware’s site, and it’s not there.
Hi Vickie,
This banana bread was made in a 9 x 5 pan I bought at Target! Nothing fancy
Enjoy,
Kristina

everyone says it LOOKS good, but nobody has said how it tastes after having tried it. That said, we’re about to try it for a potluck this weekend. The recipe looks promising. fingers crossed!
I’m back, and now I can tell you all that having tried it, this is a keeper. It is DELICIOUS!! We used light sour cream instead, and the coconut oil instead of the canola oil, and it is extremely moist. Also used slightly less than the entire bar of chocolate, so 3/4 a bar of Godiva dark chocolate was enough for us.
Love your twist on the recipe
