Description

I wanted to create a recipe that combined all of my favorite ingredients – chocolate, peanut butter and banana. The peanut butter filling is a nice surprise to anyone trying them.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Fine Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Mashed Bananas (about 3 Bananas)
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 12 Tablespoons Peanut Butter

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. In a separate large bowl cream the butter and sugar together. Stir the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla together in a large measuring cup. Gradually pour the banana mixture into the butter and sugar mixture until all ingredients are combined well.

With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, slowly stir the flour mixture into the liquid mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the pan if not lining it. Pour enough muffin batter into each muffin cup until it covers the bottom. Then scoop a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter into each muffin cup. Pour the rest of the batter over the peanut butter dollops. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean without any batter on it. (Peanut butter will come out on the toothpick. That is OK as long as the batter is set.)

I have these in the oven as we speak. The lick from the spatula was nice! he-he anyhow, as Halloween is approaching and I am making these for the kiddos for lunch boxes, I used whole wheat flour, organic cane sugar and Halloween M&M’s (yes I am aware that is an oxymoron) lol anyhow, anything I can do to get more fruit in my boys! Oh, I also added an extra tsp of vanilla ( love vanilla) and I made mine in a mini muffin tin. Oh la la I cant wait to try them! love in a muffin!

Excellent!
I wish I’d read the reviews as I filled my muffin cups too full. Oh well, just gives me an excuse to make them again!

I didn’t have any bananas when I went to make these so I used applesauce instead. They were still delicious! I want to make them with bananna and see if there is a difference. I love chocolate and peanut butter! Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe was amazing. I skipped the PB, but the muffins came out so soft, tender and rich that when left in my kids’ reach, they lasted only 3 hours or so.
Daddy could hardly reach one.
