Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until creamy, then add peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, blending until fully mixed. The mixture should be thick and aromatic.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until aerated.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine without over-mixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with banana slices and a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
