Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 large bananas)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 cup Optional: chopped peanuts for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Then add the peanut butter, mashed bananas, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix as this can lead to dense muffins.
Fold in the cooked and crumbled bacon until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with chopped peanuts for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
