Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those scrumptious sweet breads that has lots of flavor tricks up it's sleeve. I like to shake-up what ingredients I partner with banana bread, sometimes adding cinnamon and toffee or returning to my first love by giving it a dreamy banana pudding twist.
Overripe Bananas Never Tasted So Good
This bread heavenly to serve and makes a delectable quick snack with a steamy cuppa java or with a special cup filled with hot tea. This recipe makes two loaves so, go ahead and whip up a batch and share one loaf with a neighbor or good friend. It's sure to put a smile on their face.

These look really yummy my grandkids would love them. Any chance they could be made into mini muffins if so any idea for bake times.
Melissa
You can make this into any shape you like. Check them around 18-20 minutes with a toothpick.

Hi Melissa, what is chopped Reeses cups. Haven't heard of it yet

Reese's cups that are chopped using a knife.

Is it possible to leave out the bananas; as I am allergic to bananas?
Melissa
Since this is banana bread, I don't think it's possible to leave them out. You may like to check out the other breads and cakes I have in the recipe index for another flavor.

I didn't have self rising flour so I made my own 1 cup ap flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
Adjusting to get amount of flour listed in recipe.
BIG HIT!! THANK YOU😀
Melissa
Thanks so much!

I’m obsessed with peanut butter cups. PB and chocolate anything always catches my attention. However, I can’t eat anything that contains yogurt, sour cream, or cream cheese. Basically any sour/cultured milk product. What could be used instead of yogurt? And it can’t be sour cream either. Thanks.
Melissa
You could replace it with milk, if you can tolerate that.
Tracy Godess
What about the non dairy sour cream
Kathy Smith
What is the difference in cook times if i use mini loaf pans?
Melissa
Likely around 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the loaf pans and if they're silicone, metal or ceramic. That would allow for variables. To be safe, check them at 20 minutes with a toothpick, or gently touch the top to see if it springs back. Add time in 5 minute increments from there.
Joan
Can I use something else besides the yogurt
Melissa
You can use the same amount of sour cream.
Sarah Shafer
I feel like maybe I'm missing something... Usually i put baking soda in my banana bread but this one doesn't call for it. They've not risen like mine usually do or like the photo in your recipe.
Melissa
I would check the date on your baking powder.
Sabine G
Could it be that you used all purpose flour? This recipe calls for self-rising. One can add salt and baking powder to all-purpose flour to make this recipe work.
Mayda
How much of each? I have regular flour….
Melissa
To convert all purpose flour to self-rising flour for this recipe add 3 tsp baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt.
Cheryl Frances Valentine
I USE BAKING SODA "AND" BAKING POWDER IN MY BANANA BREAD RECIPES. I'VE DONE A
'LOT' OF RESEARCH. AND ALL PURPOSE FLOUR IS FINE; YOU DON'T NEED SELF-RISING FLOUR IF YOU USE BOTH BAKING POWDER AND BAKING SODA.
Melissa
Self rising flour already has leavening included hence the name. All purpose flour does not, so you have to add leavening and salt.
Bonny
This looks amazing, and I just happen to have 2 small very ripe bananas, and my son is a Reeses'jP B Cup addict. So I plan to halve the recipe and make 1 loaf for him.

I live in the UK love your recipes but find it a real chore having to spend so much time changing the ingredients into metric measurements. Please can't you give the option for metric ?
