Not Your Grandmother's Banana Bread


I got this recipe off of Picky Palate months ago and just tried it out yesterday. Can I say yum? I usually use all of my bananas on Banana Cake but now I can save some for this delicious bread.

Here's the recipe:

The Ultimate Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread
3 Sticks softened butter
2 Cups sugar
5 eggs
½ Cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 small box vanilla pudding mix (4 serving size)
2 Cups flour
5-6 ripe bananas
20-30 resee's peanut butter minis

½ Cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
2-3 Tablespoons milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs until smooth. Add peanut butter, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, pudding mix and flour until combined. Stir in bananas and Reese's.
2. Pour batter into 3 greased bread pans. Bake 45-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center of each loaf (keep an eye on it because mine was done at about 40 minutes). Let cool.
4. Place powdered sugar, milk and peanut butter in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and drizzling consistency.
5. Drizzle over each loaf.
Enjoy!
