Description

I had to come up with something else to use my dear frozen bananas and I wanted a “healthy” solution for breakfast. Creative, right? The bonus is that I use healthy whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • 1 whole Thawed Frozen Banana, Mashed
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter (crunchy Or Smooth)
  • 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter Or Canola Oil
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin pan.

In a large bowl, put your flours (I guess you could use only whole wheat flour; I tried but at my house I sometimes have to be a bit sneaky, hence 2 flours), baking powder, salt and brown sugar. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl mix your eggs, milk, banana, peanut butter and melted butter (cooled a bit) or oil.

Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients at once and mix until just combined (do not over mix). Finally, add your chocolate chips (stop eating them first!). Gently fold them into the batter.

Spoon your batter into your muffin pan. I like to use an ice cream scoop to do this, just makes my life easier!

Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

I can’t wait to try these….do you have any idea how many frozen black bananas, i have in a WalMart sack, in the freezer right now? Well, it’s just not right to throw them away..is it? My mother would shout at me if I threw them away….now when my husband finds them by accident, looking for something else….I can whip one out and whip some of these up….and say…see I told ya. TeeHee Thank You T-Dub

These are very tasty and very easy!
My kids loved them and they eat them for breakfast with yogurt and fruit. I have now made them 4 times……that’s a lot of muffins!

Tried these this morning because I just happened to have a banana on hand. They were pretty yummy and very easy to make.

I thought these muffins were great! Even my non-muffin loving husband ate and liked them!
