Peanut Butter and Chocolate Banana Muffins

Featured Contributor: Crystal Owens

One of our favorite desserts is banana bread, especially if there are chocolate chips added in. Making several loaves at a time to give away is a great memory I have from my childhood. I remember my mother would let me help her wrap the loaves with a pretty bow on top. I think this is where my love for beautiful gift wrap began. But I’m sure this is where my love for banana bread also came into play.

I recently came across peanut butter chips at the store and knew I
wanted to try to incorporate them into our bread. The combination of
bananas, chocolate chips, and peanut butter is delicious! Since my
children enjoy desserts they can hold I ended up making muffins instead
of a loaf of bread.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Muffins

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup of melted butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 peanut butter chips
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3-4 bananas)
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3/4 sugar
• 1 egg

In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. Mix together bananas, butter, sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture in. Once the batter is mixed together fold in the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Add batter to a greased muffin tin or use cupcake liners.

Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes.
