Peanut butter and banana muffins

Life has been amazing the last several months, but it's also been incredibly busy, leaving less time for things like baking...or rather, experimental baking. I had a few extra hours earlier today and with 2 super ripe bananas originally meant for peanut butter and banana sandwiches, I decided to take it a step further and instead of sandwiches, made muffins.

I wasn't quite sure exactly what I was doing, but I lucked out and managed to make something yummy. Hopefully my taster agrees too. Here are the ingredients and instructions:

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour (whole wheat flour would probably work too)
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cups melted butter
- 2 extremely ripe bananas, mooshed up
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup of whipped peanut butter (I used Kraft Whipped peanut butter)

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 C
- Combine all dry ingredients (including sugar) into a big mixing bowl
- Combine all wet ingredients into a big mixing bowl
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients
- Oil muffin pans (makes 6 jumbo ones or 9 smaller ones)
- Bake 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the muffin tray you use
- Let muffins rest in pan for 5 minutes
- Remove and place on cooling rack

These turned out really well...the peanut butter really helps keep the moisture in. Enjoy.
