You do not need to do extra labour with the flour batter. Instead, with just three ingredients, you can cook up these delicious muffins. All you need is one cup of peanut butter, one mashed banana, and two eggs. Now mix all the ingredients with an electric beater. Then bake them in the oven.
These peanut butter muffins taste sweet and delightful, much like banana muffins. It will also give a nutty flavour due to the peanut butter. These are just as attractive and enjoyable for adults as they are for kids. They are also not too sweet, and most of the sweetness is natural. Besides, you can adjust the sweetness.
The batter is not too smooth. Instead, we are just mixing the ingredients and not overmixing them. That is the reason the texture of the muffins will be a little harder and denser once they are done.
Hence, considering the sweetness, ingredients, and texture, this recipe comes under the muffins category and not cupcakes.
Oil is the best ingredient for muffins as it keeps them smooth and light. Soft butter can substitute, but it will make the muffins denser.
It can happen if you have overmixed the batter. We need to mix the ingredients properly and not make it smooth. Otherwise, the muffins will come out dry and denser than required. Or you may have even overbaked them.
As mentioned before, honey and mashed bananas are great for substituting sugar. But you can also use maple syrup for that. Or, if there is any other ingredient that goes well, you can use them.
Yes, you can try this recipe with tahini. But tahini is thinner in consistency than peanut butter. So use oil in less measure than shown here.
Yes, you can make this in mini muffins. Just reduce the batter in the scoop, and you will not need to preheat the oven.
