Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Handheld mixer

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup granulated sugar
  • - ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • - 2 eggs beaten
  • - 1 cup mashed bananas about 3 medium-sized bananas
  • - ½ cup whole milk
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 2½ cups all-purpose flour divided, plus 1 tablespoon
  • - 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • - 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • - ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • - 28 mini Reese’s cups divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray.
  • Quarter 22 mini Reese’s cups after removing wrappers. Toss them in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. Halve the remaining 6 mini Reese’s cups and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 2½ cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Add beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix on low speed, avoiding over-mixing.
  • Gently fold the quartered mini Reese’s cups into the batter using a spatula.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Arrange the remaining halved mini Reese’s cups on top of the batter for presentation.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Check at 45 minutes; if browning too much, lightly tent with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for another hour before slicing.

Notes

- Ensure bananas are ripe for best flavor.
- Coating Reese’s cups in flour prevents sinking in the batter.
- Adjust baking time if necessary based on oven variability.
