Reese’s Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter banana bread is classic banana bread with a makeover. This bread has a generous helping of peanut butter and Reese’s peanut butter cups. This easy loaf recipe is a delicious breakfast treat or snack!
I am constantly looking for new ways to bake up some Peanut Butter Banana Bread. It’s definitely always been one of my “go to” foods to whip up when I’m in the mood to bake and have bananas that are way past their prime just sitting there waiting to be used. I’ve made some awesome variations of it in the past: my current favorites being my Caramel Macchiato Banana Bread and my Coconut Banana Bread!
There is just something so warm and comforting about banana bread warm out of the oven and I constantly have rotting bananas on hand. Appetizing, right? I love anything banana flavor and it’s always been something I can’t resist. Add peanut butter to the mix and I’m ALL over that.
I’m so glad you’re here! Follow along on Pinterest for more inspiration!
Banana bread is amazing no matter what way you look at it, but it doesn’t get much better than adding peanut butter. Bananas and peanut butter are nothing short of a super combination, wouldn’t you agree? Add chocolate to that combination and it doesn’t get much better than that. This Peanut Butter Banana Bread is to die for!
I’m definitely saving up the next round of brown bananas to make this Reese’s Peanut Butter Banana Bread again.

- Banana bread with a generous helping of peanut butter and Reese's cups. This easy Reese’s Peanut Butter Banana Bread recipe is a great breakfast or snack!
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup Canola oil (Vegetable oil will also work)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1½ cups of all purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 8 oz bag of Reese’s Mini cups
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Grease your loaf pan (I used an 9″ x 5″ loaf pan) with butter or shortening.
- In a medium bowl whisk together your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
- In a large bowl stir together your bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars.
- Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy but try not to over mix or it will change the texture.
- Gently fold in your Reese’s Mini cups and spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for approx 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the bread and if you notice the it browning too fast on top, lower the temperature down to 325° and loosely cover with foil. I always do this.
- Let cool in pan for 10-15 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove from loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack to cool completely before cutting into.

Love some banana bread, add Reese’s and this kicks up to a whole new level!
Thanks, Nancy! Banana bread is good by itself but the Reese’s do make it even better!
I love anything that gives me an excuse to include chocolate with my breakfast! 🙂
Yeah, I should have mentioned – this was my breakfast for a few days 😉
I can’t believe how good this looks!! So amazing, I can’t wait to try!
Thanks, Laurie! I hope you like it if you try it!
You just took two of my favorite things – banana bread and Reese’s – and made it into one beautiful creation! YUM!
Thanks, Marie! They are my favorites too!
Banana bread is my favorite, especially with added goodies like Reese’s!! YUM! Those bags of the mini Reese’s are seriously the best to bake with.
They are! This is the first time I’ve ever baked with them!
PB cups make all things better.
Fact.
You are SO right, my friend 🙂
I am pretty sure that my eyes just got huge when I saw this picture and read the title of the post. This is SO my kind of bread!! 🙂
Thanks, Hannah! It does look tempting, doesn’t it? 🙂
Way to make it dessert-y with the Resses cups!
Yeah the Reeses definitely “dessert’d” it up a little! 🙂
I made this banana bread before and LOVE it. 🙂 I swirled mine with Nutella, too. You’ve just inspired me to make it again this weekend. Love how delicious yours looks! Hard to resist.
Nutella swirled in??!! Oh wow, just when I thought this couldn’t get any better!
This is a great idea! I love peanut butter and bananas! My favorite banana bread recipe has lots of Greek yogurt in it. Super healthy 🙂
I never thought to make it with Greek yogurt! I’ve made other baked goods with it before, but never banana bread. Hope you are doing well!
Genius recipe – it doesn’t get any better than bananas plus chocolate plus peanut butter! 🙂 This bread looks extremely addictive 🙂
Thanks, Jen! And…..IT IS! haha
We have only recently been able to buy those peanut butter cups. What a great idea to add them to banana bread – this must taste very decadent xx
I’m glad you are finally able to buy these because they are awesome to bake with!
You just made banana bread 1000x better! This would definitely be husband approved 🙂
Thanks, Heather!
I bet banana bread was made to have this addition to it! Looks divine 😀
Cheers

I agree with that!
Wonder how these would work in muffin form instead. For some reason, my family much prefers muffins over bread!
I don’t see why they wouldn’t work as muffins! I’ve never tried it before, though…
Hey Ashley, is there something I could use in place of the Bananas…….I know, sounds silly, Banana bread without the bananas…What??? But, my family just don`t care for bananas cooked/baked in things……Reese`s, on the other hand, is something entirely different…lol….I was thinking maybe Pineapple or carrots?? What do you think??
Hey, Melissa!! After some research, I learned that people have use pumpkin, apple, zucchini, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, squash, cranberries, pears and more as substitutions for the banana bread! I guess you can just use the banana bread recipe as a base and sub in whatever you like for the bananas. Also, I’m sure applesauce would work great as it would have a similar consistency! Thanks for stopping by my page 🙂
at our house it is all gone not even pieces left from the reese’s
Wow, thanks for letting me know Dale! I appreciate it and am so glad you liked the banana bread 🙂
This bread looks so amazing, can’t wait to get my bananas and baking…
Thanks, Candy!! I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
That looks amazing! A Facebook friend of mine made it, and upon postin pictures of hers, I had to have this recipe!
Jamie, thank you so much!! I appreciate you coming over to comment 🙂
I really do not like oil in my banana bread at all. Can you suggest something else that I could use?
Hi, Annette! You can use applesauce of non-fat yogurt if you want to (but use 3/4 the amount that you would oil). If would make this much lower in calories/fat, also 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Will definitely have to give this a try the next time I get some bananas. haven’t had homemade banana bread in a really long time.
I hope you like it, Fran!
Hi there,
I made this last night and it’s fantastic; granted it’s beyond sinful and probably 8000 calories a slice, but worth it, and even better with coffee this morning!
My boyfriend is always terrified when he sees yet another bunch of overripe bananas sitting on the counter because he knows it means more baked goods in our kitchen, but I have fallen so far off of the low-carb wagon these past couple of months, I can’t help it!
I baked mine in a bundt pan and since I like taking my breads out a few minutes before they’re actually done-done, this took just shy of 40 minutes.
Hey all you girls who come on here to say how good it looks, you should try actually making it! :))
Thanks for the recipe!
Wow, thank you so much Olive!! I’m so glad you liked it – it’s one of my favorites!
My dough came out a little dry so I added about 1/4 cup applesauce and this recipe came out perfect!
Pingback: Ooey Gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread | That's SO Jenn!
I am definitely going to try this! Chocolate, peanut butter, and bananas = awesome! I agree would definitely go awesome with coffee in the morning! 🙂
This is a PB lover’s fantasy breakfast!
This sounds great but what are Reese’s Mini cups? I don’t know them here in Australia. We do have plenty of bananas and I remember banana and peanut butter sandwiches when staying over at a friends many years ago!
This looks delicious! I have always used chocolate chips but this looks awesome. The thing that I do differently is ALWAYS freeze the bananas 1st. I peel them & put in a ziploc (you can mash them easier that way) and freeze until I have enough for a big batch. When they thaw in the bowl, the syrup that is produced makes the best tasting and moist bread. Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Yes to the frozen banana tip ! I do that too !
I made this and it was CRAZY good.
So good fact, you should coin this recipe…
“BANANA’S BREAD”
Lol!
I love to try new recipes. thanks for sharing
Is it ok if I don’t have baking powder ?
I used crunchy peanut butter! I’m making it for my husband’s birthday breakfast! I’m substituting this for a cake! Lol! Thanks for the ideas!!!
I need to dig out my ground flax seed to replace the egg. That looks really good.
I love this! Nailed it! Reese’s peanut butter banana bread it was easy to make and so good.
The peanut butter cups, are they the ones that are already unwrapped, the little tiny ones or the other one you have to unwrap?
This does look AMAZING! My son found this recipe and nudged me to see it. I am the famous chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting lady in our group. Whenever we have a dish to pass I am requested to make my homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. I am almost positive if I make this I will have another favorite. The question then is will it give me a choice to pick from? Or will i just have to start making both? Lol! Thank you for sharing.
We actually found a new banana recipe on a magazine. It is Christy Teigen’s recipe. It was in the magazine “People”. The October 8th 2018 issue. It is truly amazing and I have used it as a desert, a breakfast treat, a snack, and well I dont need an excuse to eat it!
When I was mixing the batter, I noticed it was not as moist as most banana bread recipes.
I added about 1/4 cup of milk.
Also added 1Tbsp of dark cocoa powder.
It’s baking now!!😋😍
Help! I made this recipe exactly as – is. But my batter was completely dry and when it cooled and I sliced into it, it completely crumbled. I literally ate it as crumbs with a spoon because the flavor was great. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
That’s so weird! I’ve never had it fail. Let me think about it and get back to you! I feel like maybe an ingredient must’ve been left out?!
