Banana & Peanut Butter Muffins

19 Jun

tollhouse_peanutbutterWe had some extra over ripe banana’s, really dark, not so nice to eat as fresh but perfect for baking. So instead of making the usual banana bread I grabbed out a selection of my cook books and sifted through them until something took my fancy.

Nigella Express Nigella Lawson’s ‘Banana Butterscotch Muffins’ were just the perfect recipe to try. While searching the pantry for required ingredients I remembered that I still had some milk chocolate and peanut butter morsels from months ago. So I basically substitute the morsels for butterscotch chips as the recipe stated and it was a real match in heaven!!

Ingredients
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups flour
½ up sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 ¼ cups mashed bananas (2-3 ripe bananas)
½ cup peanut butter swirled morsels (the recipe stated 1 cup but thought that is way too much)

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C, put the paper liners in the cupcake baking trays. In a big bowl add the oil and beat in the eggs. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda and mix everything together. Add the banana mash an mix well. Fold the peanut butter morsels into the mixture. Fill the paper cups half way and bake for about 15mins, or until golden brown.
