Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two standard loaf pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine smooth peanut butter, softened butter, and pure vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually mix in granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fully incorporated.
  4. Add large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Alternate adding self-rising flour and plain Greek yogurt to the mixture.
  6. Gently fold in mashed bananas and chopped Reese’s cups.
  7. Divide the batter between prepared loaf pans and bake for 35 minutes.
