Ingredients

Peanut Butter Banana Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas mashed
1/2 cup buttermilk

Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
20 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups coarsely chopped

Instructions

Peanut Butter Banana Cake

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Spray a 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and sugar and beat on high speed until fluffy, scraping sides of bowl down as needed.
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Beat in mashed bananas.
Beat in half of flour on low speed, and then half of buttermilk. Repeat.
Spread batter into prepared pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool completely before glazing.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze

In a microwave-safe container (I use a Pyrex measuring cup), combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat on high for 30 seconds, stir. Repeat. Stir until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the glaze over the top of the cooled cake.
Wait 5 minutes before sprinkling on the chopped peanut butter cups. Press gently to adhere.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or more until the glaze has set up.
