If you’re a regular here at Mom On Timeout then you know I have a thing for Reese’s. I do a lot of baking with Reese’s because, let’s face it, Reese’s is much like bacon in that it makes everything taste better. Awhile back I shared my recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Bread and while it’s an excellent recipe there was just something that seemed to be missing….chocolate!
Now I am definitely in the camp that says chocolate is an breakfast food. It’s an excellent way to start your day especially if it comes in the form of Reese’s Banana Bread. I’m calling this Reese’s Explosion Banana Bread because it contains not one, not two, but THREE different types of Reese’s! Reese’s Minis, Reese’s Miniatures, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips have all joined the party!
Now if you’re like – Whoah Trish! That’s a lot of candy! You could {although I don’t understand why..} not put the topping on. I made it for my family once like this and it’s still outrageously good – like – REALLY good 🙂
But if you’re all for adding more Reese’s to this fantastic bread – then by all means…

Hi there — looks delish! Do you think that the baking time would be the same for mini loaf pans as you posted re turning the recipe into muffins? Many thanks.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Mini loafs would probably be around 25-30 minutes. Just keep an eye on them!
mary says
Thanks Trish – I’ll give it a whirl — there are soooo many wonderful dishes on your site so it looks like I’ll be busy for the holiday season 🙂 Mary
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s wonderful Mary – thank you!
bridget says
If these were made into muffins about how long would you bake them? Any idea? Looks amazing! Thanks for recipe!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m thinking 20-25 minutes. Start checking at 20 🙂 Enjoy!

I plan to make this drool worthy bread for my hubby as a surprise, and I’m really excited for it myself, but I was wondering about the topping measurements, it says 1/4 but not a measurement. Can you clarify so I can enjoy this in my home please? I love how it looks. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Hi Becca! Sorry about that 🙂 Both measurements for the topping are in cups. Enjoy!!

My husband and I are PB fanatics. He’s had this recipe in his arsenal for quite some time and finally just got around to making it last week. This recipe is AMAZING!! I don’t know if I should love you or curse you. lol He made 3 mini loaves and I killed one by myself in one sitting. I made him whip up a double batch asap(to freeze) because I know how he likes to share and I do not. haha! Thanks again for sharing your killer recipe!

I finally made this today after drooling over it for so long. Believe me, it is as good as it looks!! This stuff is evil! No one seems to be able to get enough of it. Thank goodness I don’t have the ingredients to make it again! There’s a bake sale coming up at church to benefit the Hunger Walk. I think I need to make one for that (maybe two just in case one gets accidentally eaten). Thanks Trish!

I just love reading comments like this one Denise 🙂 Totally made my day! Thank you!!
