Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray.

Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, peanut butter, vegetable puree, banana, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Jessica says use a large wooden spoon.

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I'd put it in bowl and combine with a whisk, but Jessica suggests putting them in a ziptop bag and shake.

Fold the dry mix into the wet mix and combine until just lumpy. Don't overmix, these are muffins. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir once or twice. Jessica says this puts a crust on the top of the muffins.

Divide the batter between the muffins. Cook until lightly brown and a toothpick comes out clean. 15 to 20 minutes.

Store at room temp for up to two days, or freeze for up to a month.
