Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Description
Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are made by blending mashed ripe bananas, unsweetened applesauce, and softened butter with light brown sugar and vanilla. The dry ingredients include flour, baking soda, and salt, mixed just until combined to avoid toughness. A substantial amount of creamy peanut butter is incorporated into the batter, with a small amount added individually to the center of each muffin scoop, creating a peanut butter core effect. This method yields muffins that are moist with a tender crumb and mellow peanut flavor complemented by banana’s natural sweetness.
The muffins bake at 325°F for about 25 minutes, until golden and passing the toothpick test. Their texture is soft and moist without being dense, making them versatile for breakfast or snacks. The inclusion of applesauce helps retain moisture while reducing the need for extra sugar or fat.
