Banan-Peanut Butter Muffins

By dette

Anyone who know me knows I go nuts for peanut butter. Creamy or chunky. It doesn't matter, If a dish or dessert includes peanut butter, I am the first one in line. This recipe was inspired by the peanut butter-banana sandwiches my mother made for me when I was a kid. There was nothing I loved morek, expecially when the peanut butter got stuck to the roof of my mouth. These are oh-so-easy to eat and are a welcome surprise in a lunch box or as an afternoon snack.
