Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently stir in the mini peanut butter cups, leaving a few aside for topping if desired.
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop small dollops of peanut butter on top and swirl them slightly with a knife or skewer.
Pour the remaining batter over the peanut butter layer and smooth the surface. If reserved, sprinkle the top with extra peanut butter cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this delicious Peanut Butter Cup and Banana Bread. Enjoy!
