Muffins which combine my two favorite foods

I have a thing for peanut butter to be honest. One time i tried it and then i loved it so much, that i nearly ate it everyday whenever i could. I go through phases where i am either obsessed and eat it all the time or i am not eating it at all. At the moment the i eat it all the time phase is on.

Another thing i love are bananas. Banana Pancakes? Hell yes. And peanut butter with bananas? Yum.

Peanut butter with bananas in a muffin? Let's try it.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup flour

3/4 cup oats

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tbsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup milk

1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas

1 egg

1 Tbsp. oil

1 tsp. vanilla

chocolat chips, walnuts, etc if you want

HOW TO DO IT

Heat your oven to 375°F. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk peanut butter and milk in a different bowl until they're nicely blended, then stir in the bananas, the egg, the oil and the vanilla. Afterwards add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir all untilit's smooth. Add chocolate chips or walnuts or whatever you like and blend it all together. Take a muffin baking form and spray it with cooking spray then put two tbsp. dough into each pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before you remove them.

We put some chocolate chips into the muffins and they were delightfull. I will definitely make those muffins a second time!

Did you ever try Bananabread?

I found this recipe a year ago (or even more) on a blog and i don't even remember which one it was. I made it for the first time and immidiately fell in love. Bananas in cake, muffins, pancakes were my favorite before and after that there were in bread too. You can eat it as breakfast or as a snack, dessert whenever you like to eat it (maybe like me, anytime?).

INGREDIENTS

* 75g margarine

* 60g brown sugar

* pinch of salt

* a bit of cinnamon

* 1 egg

* 2 ripe bananas

* 1 packet baking soda

* 150g flour

* 50g chopped walnuts/hazelnuts

* a bit of milk

PREPARATION

Mix the margarine, sugar, salt and the cinnamon together and then ad the egg to the mixture. Cut the bananas into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Maybe you have to mash them with a fork to get a smooth mixture. Now put the flour and the baking soda in the mixing bowl and stir it until the dough is smooth. If the dough is to dry, you can add a bit of milk.  Last but not least mix the walnuts into the dough and then pour it into a with baking sheet covered baking form, bake it by 175°C  for 35-40 minutes.

It tastes best when it's still warm.
