150 g smooth peanut butter
02 -
115 g unsalted butter, softened
03 -
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
04 -
135 g granulated sugar
05 -
135 g light brown sugar, packed
06 -
4 large eggs
07 -
375 g self-rising flour
08 -
120 g plain Greek yogurt
09 -
4 small ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 360 g)
10 -
200–260 g chopped Reese’s cups
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Coat the bottoms and sides of two 23 x 13 cm or 20 x 10 cm non-stick metal loaf pans with baking spray or butter and flour.
02 -
Using an electric mixer, beat peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
03 -
Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Continue beating on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, ensuring mixture is fully combined.
04 -
Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Increase mixer speed and beat for 30 seconds until the mixture achieves a light beige color. Scrape down bowl as needed.
05 -
Reduce mixer speed. Gradually add self-rising flour, alternating with Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with flour. Mix only until just combined, scraping bowl as necessary.
06 -
Using a spatula, gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped Reese’s cups until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
07 -
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans using a measuring cup. Bake for 35 minutes. If excessive browning occurs, loosely cover with foil. Continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
08 -
Allow loaves to cool in their pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
Use well-ripened bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.
02 -
Ensure all mixing is performed just until combined to prevent dense bread.
