• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour

Grease a loaf pan with butter or shortening.

 

In medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

 

In a large bowl, stir together bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars. Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy – do not over stir.

 

Fold in Reese’s Mini cups and spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for approx 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove from loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack.
