Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk (or as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, honey, egg, vanilla, and milk. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined — don’t overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days!

If you’d like, I can help you tweak it — for example, adding chocolate chips, nuts, or a crumb topping. Want that?
