Ingredients

Scale

Bread:

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candy

Glaze:

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the banana bread.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease an 8.5×4.5 inch loaf pan thoroughly to ensure the bread doesn’t stick after baking.
  3. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Egg, Butter, and Bananas: Mix in the egg and melted butter, stirring well. Then fold in the mashed ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually mix them into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in Reese’s Pieces: Gently fold the Reese’s Pieces candy into the batter to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Bread: Remove the bread from the oven, take it out of the pan, and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Prepare Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 to 2 tablespoons milk until smooth.
  11. Heat Glaze: Microwave the glaze mixture for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds, repeating as needed until the glaze is heated through and smooth.
  12. Drizzle Glaze: Drizzle the warm peanut butter glaze over the cooled loaf for an extra burst of flavor and sweetness.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moist texture.
  • Check the bread after 45 minutes and adjust baking time as ovens may vary.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent melting and sogginess.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep longer.
