Peanut Butter and Banana Muffin

 

I just can’t wait to try this recipe from the book Muffin Galore as darling really loves peanut butter and I love banana. Thus, this is a perfect combination from us. In the book, the author mentioned that “the combination of peanut butter and banana is a popular sandwich filling, used in this recipe to create the delicious muffins”.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix the flour and oats in a large bowl, then stir in brown sugar. Add the baking powder and salt and stir to mix.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, milk maple syrup and mashed banana until well blended. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients mixing until just combined.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing it evenly. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle this mixture over the tops of muffins.
5. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until risen and golden. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack.
6. Serve warm or cool.

The muffins turn out right.
