Yeah, yeah, yeah, another banana muffin recipe, who needs it?

You do.

I wouldn’t put this recipe out into a world with already thousands of banana muffin recipes if I didn’t think it was AWESOME!

The secret trick to these muffins is that you actually replace some of the flour with peanut butter powder! It will give them a more subtle peanut taste, without all the oil that you find in peanut butter.

PB Chocolate Banana Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup white flour

• 2-3 mashed ripe bananas

• 1/2 cup melted butter

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp. vanilla

• 1/3 cup maple syrup

*If you want to use peanut butter (not powder), add in 1/2 cup more flour, decrease butter to 4 tablespoons, and add 1/2 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter!

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375º F and grease a muffin tin.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, peanut butter powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and oats.

3. In a large bowl, smash bananas and add melted butter, egg, vanilla, and maple syrup and mix together.

7. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

8. While muffins cool, add couple of additional chocolate chips on top!
