Reeses Peanut Butter Banana Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
06 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
07 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
08 - 2 eggs
09 - 1 cup granulated sugar
10 - 8 ounces miniature peanut butter cups or chopped peanut butter cups

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In another large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and granulated sugar until well combined.
04 - Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, which is normal.
05 - Gently fold in the miniature peanut butter cups or chopped peanut butter cups, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 - Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
02 - You can substitute natural peanut butter, but the texture of the bread may be slightly different.
03 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
04 - This bread freezes well for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before freezing.
