Wow I didn't see that coming...

So I didn't expect my first "failure" to come quite so quickly... Today I attempted to make Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread... I know sounds amazing doesn't it? Thanks to pinterest I discovered this recipe and figured hey why not try this today... Granted I should have thought about the fact it isn't great for my weight loss goals but I figure it will all work out...

I followed the recipe pretty much to the tee with a few quirks... I think its good but I didn't allow it to cool long enough and it completely fell apart when I was trying to get it out of the pan... Not the prettiest thing but it's so tasty... I love the top part where its browned and crunchy...

Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread

- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 c. peanut butter ~ I used Jiffy's Omega 3 Extra Crunchy in the green jar... Loved the extra crunch from the peanuts... Plus its a fun great way to get some of that Omega 3 DHA goodness...
- 1/4 c. oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
- 1/2 t. baking soda
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 8oz bag of the Reese's Mini Cups, the unwrapped ones...

Preheat oven to 350
Grease your loaf pan
In one bowl whisk together all dry stuff (not the sugars)
In another bowl blend the wet stuff and sugars, then add dry to wet until mixed
Fold in the Reese's cups and pour into the pan and pop it in the oven
Bake for 60 minutes ~ Here's where things went fuzzy, the recipe said an hr but it took another 10 and probably should have had another 5... So if I make it again I'd do it for 75 in oven... Anyways, it says to cool for 10 minutes, should have let it cool longer maybe it wouldn't have fallen apart...

So my take on the recipe; it is really tasty, but super dense and heavy, banana bread is dense to begin with and then add the pb cups and the peanut butter and it becomes super dense, so you definitely need a huge glass of milk to help it down...
