Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Muffins

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.
