    slice of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread on a white plate with a red napkin

    I have seen this idea on Pinterest for ages. It always sounded like the perfect combination. And making plain banana bread last week had me still in the mood for banana bread. So here we are. I used the same recipe from last week but adjusted to make peanut butter and peanut butter cup banana bread. 

    This bread was great. Everyone seemed to like it more than me. I like peanut butter. And I do enjoy it with chocolate and dessert. But I don't like a lot of peanut butter in desserts. I can't do peanut butter frosting, something about it just doesn't sit right with me. I know its weird.

    Anyways next time I think I want to make plain banana bread and mix in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and no actual peanut butter in the batter. But this was still wonderful, I highly suggest you give it a go!
