These were certainly a hit around our house, Matt had eaten two before I even knew it. The balance of the banana & peanut butter flavor is just right without one overpowering the other. I like them best a little warm, maybe with a touch of good butter, yum.
I didn't have chunky peanut butter in the house so I used creamy & them just added some chopped peanuts for the texture. If you have chunky go ahead & leave the peanuts out.
Banana Peanut Butter Muffins
1/2 c + 2 T all-purpose flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
6 T peanut butter
1/2 c brown sugar
2 T honey
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 c chopped peanuts
Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare 8 or 9 muffin tins with papers or by greasing them.
Stir the flours, baking powder, baking soda & salt together in a bowl & set aside.
Mix the banana, peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla & egg together in another bowl. I found heating the peanut butter in the microwave for a few minutes made it easier to stir in.
Mix the wet mixture into the dry & stir until just combined. Fold in the peanuts.
FIll the muffin tins 3/4 fill. Bake for about 22 minutes until golden brown & a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Makes 8 - 9 muffins

this is my favorite combo in a bread--i can see why matt devoured them. as a kid i didn't eat as good as you did; i wanted all the candy. lol
ReplyDeleteBananas and peanut butter: that's my work-a-day breakfast. . .I'd like to try it in a muffin form.
ReplyDeleteYum! Just last week I made myself a peanut butter sandwich with homemade banana chips and honey. I'm thinking these might be quite tasty with a drizzle of honey on top.
ReplyDeletei do the same thing now! granted, i tend to slather on the peanut butter such that the banana can barely be tasted, but oh well. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried PB on banana but I remember topping apple slices with it and it was delicious! This recipe sounds yummy and healthy. I'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteMy boys will love this! They often eat peanut butter bananas for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI just made Peanut Butter CC Cookies but your Banana Peanut Butter Muffins sound wayyyyyy better!
ReplyDeleteBanana & peanut butter is a super yummy combination!! I adore the muffin wrapper!
ReplyDeleteI made a batch of these last night (actually as mini-muffins) and they are as wonderful as I had hoped. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI can see where these would do a disappearing act.
ReplyDeleteI made these last night and they were fabulous! Great combination with just the right balance of each flavor.
ReplyDeleteI threw in some dark chocolate chips in the last half of the batter and it made for a wonderful dessert-muffin.
I've been on a muffin kick lately - I need to try these!
ReplyDeleteI think these would definitely be a winner in our house AND I have all the ingredients to make a batch, thanks to a stash of frozen bananas. They look great, Kat!
ReplyDeleteNice -- looks like a healthier recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantabulous! My mom and I love to make banana sandwiches by halving a banana and then spreading peanut butter in the middle when we get the munchies, so these muffins are like the holy grail of afternoon snacks.
ReplyDeleteThaaaaaaaaank youuuuuuuu
