I’m always trying to find new banana recipes because I always have overripe bananas in the freezer. I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Bread on All Recipes and used it as a base for these muffins. Here’s my modified recipe:

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. peanut butter
3 bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chocolate chips (plus a little more)
Sugar in the Raw

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put muffin papers in the muffin tins.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Stir in peanut butter and bananas. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to wet mixture. Fold in 1/2 c. chocolate chips. Pour into prepared tins.

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a few extra chocolate chips and with Sugar in the Raw.

Bake at 325 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes or til a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

I made these on a Sunday and Dallas and each had a couple. I took them to work the next day and they were gone instantly. Very good. Very sweet, though. They could easily be a cupcake.
