Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Description
The recipe uses white whole wheat flour, oats, and a mix of white and brown sugars combined with leaveners for balanced rise. Wet ingredients include egg, milk, oil, vanilla, mashed bananas, and peanut butter integrated gently to keep the crumb tender. A small spoonful of peanut butter is added on top of each muffin before baking, creating a flavor swirl. Baking at 375 degrees for about 17-20 minutes yields muffins that are fully cooked with a slightly domed top and moist interior.
These muffins suit morning meals or an on-the-go snack, providing banana sweetness with a mild nutty depth. Their texture is soft with some chewiness from the oats.
They should be stored airtight at room temperature for a few days, refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for up to three months to extend freshness without losing texture.
