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,
I just found this delicious looking recipe! So excited to make it because I have everything on hand. I was wondering though if the second picture used is a different bread? It looks like a chocolate bread because it is a lot darker than all the others. Is there a recipe for that one as well? Also, when does the topping go on? After its baked? Thanks!
Jillian says
Hi, Trish. I love baking and cooking, but this just took things way off the chart! I just made this recipe and it’s in the oven, but I’m curious, why do you coat the peanut butter cups and candies with flour before combining?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Hi Jillian! I like to coat the chips and candy with flour because it keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. It’s a neat little trick that keeps them more evenly distributed while baking. Hope that helps!
Jillian says
Oh, that is really good to know! Thank you so much!!
Brenda Ebert says
I am a peanut butter chocolate lover too! Can’t wait to try this? I wonder if I could use some of our Reeses peanut butter eggs chopped up in this bread instead of the reeses mini’s?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Ummm absolutely! How in the world did you end up with leftover Reese’s eggs??? Hehe – that never happens here 🙂

Trish, this looks beyond delicious. Now I have somrthing else to do with the banana surplus I usually end up with here in Puerto Rico. However you do not mention what size loaf pan.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sorry about that Robert! I used a 9 in x 5 in loaf pan 🙂 What’s the weather like in Puerto Rico right now?

Do I put topping before baking? I am so new so I have no clue when I need to those three topping. If you dont mind could you explain how to put topping too? thanks!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Bake the bread first, let it cool, and then do the topping. Good luck!
