Peanut Butter Banana Oat Muffins

Peanut Butter Banana Oat Muffins

Peanut butter and banana combine with a nice oat crumble to make these tasty and satisfying muffins sure to hit the spot!

I had a really sad day  in my kitchen: My blender and my crockpot broke! Both on the same day. So sad.

I decided to drown my sorrows in something delicious, as I an emotional eater. But it was late in the day, and I didn’t want anything too unhealthy, so instead of Sugar Coma Bars (my go to indulgence), I opted for these. And I am so glad I did.

I had some bananas, and wanted banana bread, but I also wanted peanut butter. I opted for some peanut butter banana oat muffins. I topped them with a great brown sugar crumble, cuz that is how  I roll. I make my muffins healthy, then top them with butter and sugar. I was drowning my sorrows after all. My bananas weren’t over ripe, but I think it made these even better having them at an edible stage, rather than brown.

I chose muffins, but you could do a loaf. Muffins cook faster, have some bulk, and taste amazing. And, a plus, they are not too unhealthy. Only 1 cup of sugar, and it makes about 48 muffins (perfect for freezing or sharing).

In my oven I baked for exactly 22 minutes, but every oven is different. The best way to check is to just insert a butter knife in the center to see if it comes out clean. These were good hot, but even better on day two, as the peanut butter flavor was more distinct.

Be generous with the crumble topping. It adds a little crunch, a little sweet, and a lot of fun. But, if you want to skip the extra calories, just leave the crumble off completely. These still make a great breakfast muffin. One warning, they do have a strong banana flavor, so if you have banana haters at your house (my son hates them), these will not be something they enjoy. I can get away with bananas in smoothies like this green smoothie, without him noticing, but this muffin is banana bread!

These will keep in an airtight container for about a week. Enjoy!
