Peanut butter chip Banana Nut muffins
It’s a universal fact in the Pond that everything is made better with peanut butter.
Pies are made better with peanut butter.
Cookies are made better with peanut butter.
Cupcakes are made better with peanut butter.
Peanut butter is a wonderful thing. One of the best inventions man kind created, in my opinion, right up there with electricity and penicillin and the wheel.
As most of you can relate, one day I had a pile of ripe bananas. So I set about to making banana bread. In muffin form.
And then a glimmer of a thought came to me. It giggled and whispered to me, tickling my ears and making my eyes sparkle as my fingers danced in excitement.
No, this would be no ordinary banana bread. It would be banana bread with peanut butter chips. Half a bag, a full bag, whatever you please. Just dump them in.
You won’t regret it, I promise.
As is the rule in the Pond, peanut butter makes everything tastier. These muffins are no exception.
Yum.
Recipe here–just add PB chips to your liking.

Yes, yes, we love PB too! (I always have a fear I will one day wake up and be allergic *gasp*). I will definitely throw some of those chips in next time I’m making muffins. Great idea!

I agree 100% about peanut butter being up there. Never thought about adding it to banana muffins. What a great addition.

Yummy! I agree PB makes EVERYTHING better
Wanna hear something funny. Little Zoe hates peanut butter. It totally bugs me too. How can you hate peanut butter? 
February 11th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Excellent banana muffins with the addition of peanut butter, yum!
February 11th, 2010 at 8:30 am
I always put chocolate chips in my banana muffins, but I think PB chips would be even better.

Yummy combo! I eat peanut butter right out of the jar. Bet everyone else does too.
But your banana pb cupcakes would be an even better treat!
February 11th, 2010 at 8:43 am
That sounds so delicious – I love your obsession with adding peanut butter to everything!
February 11th, 2010 at 9:14 am
I agree! I’ve always said if I could only have one food for the rest of my life I’d pick PB! The muffins look super!
February 11th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Thor and the little boys agree that peanut butter makes everything better. And who am I to disagree with such authorities? I do love it, too, after all!
February 11th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Those look and sound great!
February 11th, 2010 at 10:02 am
I love both bananas and peanut butter, but I have never thought about putting them both together before! They look delicious!
February 11th, 2010 at 10:02 am

February 11th, 2010 at 10:03 am

I agree wholeheartedly about peanut butter. Almost every morning, I have half a banana with a smear of peanut butter. Now I’m thinking that putting them together as muffins would be fabulous!

One of my favorite snacks? Tablespoon of creamy peanut butter and a tall glass of ice cold chocolate milk. Heaven!

I agree with you on the Peanut Butter Duckie. Peanut butter makes anything taste better. My favourite peanut butter splurge? Toast with peanut butter and bacon. Yummo!
February 12th, 2010 at 9:49 am

Oh – and I am gonna need your recipe for those PB cookies with the Hershey’s Kisses!!!!!!!!! do you hear me… “NEED” hahahahaha!
