Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk (or as needed)
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — do not overmix. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped peanuts on top.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
