Currently baking from Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More by Carole Walter.
Peanut butter. Bananas. Chocolate chips. What’s not to like? Even without the bacon, Elvis would be inhaling these. I almost did, except I had already inhaled a batch of the banana oatmeal muffins that I had baked earlier in the day. Needless to say, the scale doesn’t like me much right now.
But back to these muffins. This might just be the recipe that redeems Walter’s book. The batter came together easily, with no overly complicated instructions. After creaming the peanut butter and butter together, sugar and an egg is added to the mixture. Then, mashed bananas and yogurt is alternately mixed in with the dry ingredients. To finish off the batter, chopped Spanish peanuts and mini chocolate chips are stirred in.
These muffins baked up nicely domed tops. The crunch of the peanuts added a nice texture to the muffins. The peanut butter wasn’t overpowering, but went well with the bananas.
In a moment of supreme self-sacrifice, I sent all of these muffins to work with Bryan. I’m totally regretting not keeping one (or three) for myself. Fortunately, I have two very ripe bananas still sitting on my counter . . .
Stacking the muffins was pretty easy. Not eating them all at once was much harder.
But are you really sure that they made them to work. He has a long drive you know. They would not have if I would of been driving.
Man! I bet the people at Hubby’s old work really hate the new people. Now they get all the treats! These sound so good to me. I wish you had sent some east. I bet they’d be really yummy with a cup of tea! (How’d you get them to stack that way for the picture???)
