Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup peanut butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.25 cup additional chopped nuts (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk the mixture until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and cohesive, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped nuts gently to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops with additional chopped nuts for extra crunch and visual appeal.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
