Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

I LOVE peanut butter.. And I seem to always have a few banana's sitting on my counter that are overly ripe and will go uneaten.. So when I found this recipe for peanut butter banana muffins -- I was very excited! Because I also love chocolate, I added some semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter - and these muffins were my breakfast for a week :) YUM! Enjoy.

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 small ripe bananas, mashed
1-1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar

(chocolate chips, if desired)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large muffin tin with muffin cups OR spray with non-stick cooking spray. (I had enough batter to fill my 12 cup muffin pan and my 12 cup mini-muffin pan).

Melt peanut butter in a microwave safe glass measuring cup. Mix together peanut butter, oil, water, milk, eggs, and bananas.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar.

Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients a little at a time (be sure flour is incorporated into the mixture before adding more.)

Pour batter into the muffin tins, filling 3/4 full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the muffin tin for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
