Description

Sheesh, that is a mouthful. Good enough for you that you can eat it for breakfast, but yummy enough for anytime.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Quick Cooking Oats
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 2 whole Very Ripe Bananas, Mashed
  • _____
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • ¼ cups Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk (may Need A Bit More)

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl combine flours, sugars, baking powder, soda and oats. (If you like a more cupcake-like texture, put this in a blender or food processor and mix until finer). Stir to make sure all combined.

In a separate bowl combine 1/2 cup of peanut butter, butter, eggs and bananas. Add to dry ingredience and stir until just combined.

Spoon batter into paper lined or greased muffin tin until two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes until done (test with a toothpick – should come out dry when they are done). Cool completely.

For the frosting:
While muffins are cooling mix 1/4 cup peanut butter, honey, and powdered sugar in bowl with hand mixer. Gradually add milk until desired consistency. Spread onto cooled cupcakes/muffins.

If you are looking for a more muffin-like product, omit frosting and mix 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of cold butter and 1/4 cup pecans or peanuts in food processor. Pulse until butter resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle on top of muffins and bake as directed.

These were a hit with my husband and my work! I need to learn to frost better though :) Here’s my full blog post! http://heatskitchen.blogspot.com/2015/02/peanut-butter-oatmeal-banana-cupcakes.html

We have made this recipe several times. We usually omit the frosting and substitute the flour with Pamela’s GF Baking and Pancake Mix. Works wonderfully and tastes so good! For anyone that does the same: Pamela’s mix already has baking powder and baking soda, so skip those ingredients.

Just made these and they are really good! I often make a big batch of muffins for my kids to eat for breakfast and I like that these have peanut butter to get them a little extra protein to start their day. I didn’t do either topping but added just a few chocolate chips. Also, I used just over 1/4 of oil (and no butter) – I just like the consistency of muffins made with oil better than butter. And, I used a little more than 2 bananas.

These are delicious and so easy to make! I made the crumble topping that she suggested instead of the icing one and it adds a nice little crunch.

Very yummy, like a somewhat healthier cupcake. I agree with other comments-definitely go for icing! Everyone loved them- I will make them again!
