Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

One of my favorite flavor combinations is peanut butter and banana. I love it as a snack, and as a topping on my ice cream, but mostly I love the flavor of peanut butter and banana in these amazing Peanut Butter Banana Muffins.

These soft, homemade peanut butter banana muffins are loaded with all the flavors of a delicious banana bread with a hint of peanut butter. There also topped with dried banana chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips, which adds an extra crunchy, peanut buttery topping that takes these muffins to a whole new level. And I think it also makes them look even prettier!

JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:

✔  When mixing the butter and sugar together, make sure that you beat it for at least 2 minutes or until it starts to become light in color and creamy. This step is super important, so be patient and make sure it’s light and creamy.

✔  I like to use an ice cream scooper to fill the muffin batter into each muffin tin. I think it makes it super easy and you know that each muffin will be the same size. For these peanut butter banana muffins, I pressed dried banana chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips into the top of the muffin batter, but if you don’t want to use banana chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips, no worries the muffins will still be just as good!

✔  Lastly, don’t let the muffins “cool” in the hot muffin pan, after about 5 minutes take the muffins out of the muffin pan and place them on a wire rack to cool for another 5-10 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the muffin pan too long will lead to dry, overcooked muffins.
