Recipe: Banana Peanut Butter Muffins

These Banana Peanut Butter Muffins are so moist… and with just a hint of peanut butter… they’re the perfect start to a morning on the run. Why buy fast food breakfasts when you can whip up a batch of these the night before and enjoy them on the run the next morning. Not only healthy because they’re chock full of banana and peanut butter… they’re a whole lot less expensive than buying a quick muffin to-go somewhere.

This recipe is similar to my Banana Muffins but with the addition of peanut butter and buttermilk… the addition of buttermilk makes these muffins so moist and tasty… originally I also threw in some white chocolate chips… but they melted into the muffin… the taste was good… but no visible chips… so I replaced them with vanilla extract.

TIPS

I use very, very ripe bananas… they’re almost black in large spots …. these bananas are very soft and mashable… the banana flavor can’t be any better.

I highly recommend using paper muffin cups to line the muffin tin… they look much prettier that way.

I hope you try this wonderful little recipe for a slightly different spin on a Banana Muffin.
