Here’s a super simple recipe for breakfast baking:  Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Ohhhhh, it’s that time again.  That time when we have a bunch of over-ripe bananas sitting around on the counter and we don’t really want to make banana bread… yet again.  Let’s make muffins instead!

I really love banana bread, but I probably love muffins even more.  The fact that you can wrap them individually and pop them into the freezer for eating sporadically is very appealing to me.  If a whole loaf of banana bread is staring me in the face… well, then I’m gonna stuff my face until it’s gone.

These banana muffins have peanut butter in them and a sprinkle of chocolate chips too.  They’re the perfect treat for weekend baking– because then you’ll get to eat them for breakfast whenever you want in the weeks to come.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a muffin tin with muffin papers.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and white sugar.  Beat for 2 minutes, or until well-combined.  Mix in the egg, vanilla, yogurt and banana.
4. Add the dry ingredients and the 1/2 cup chocolate chips and mix just until combined (over-mixing will result in tough muffins).
5. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups (3/4 full) and sprinkle with a few additional chocolate chips.
6. Bake 25 to 27 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops are springy.

• Muffins may be stored (covered) at room temperature for up to 3 days.  They may also be frozen!
