It was the beginning of the Covid Quarantine in 2020, everyone was keeping busy baking sourdough, downloading TikTok and baking banana bread. I never quite got into the sourdough, but this peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread got made A LOT.
This peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread recipe came about at the beginning of covid as a result of a few things. First, my son refused to eat the bananas he begged me to buy him at the store. Then, I had a ton of left over Reese's candy from my post Valentine's Day candy shopping spree. Finally, I had a tiny bit of left over chocolate chips that we're enough for cookies.
What kind of Reese's do I use for this?
For this peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread recipe, I like to se Reese's unwrapped mini cups. If you don't have those available you can always chop up some regular sized reese's peanut butter cups.
