Preparation

Step 1

Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners and set aside. Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bananas, peanut butter, milk and vanilla.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Divide batter between the 10 prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining white sugar. Fill any empty muffin cups 1/2 full with water.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffins comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to finish cooling on wire racks.
