Elvis Muffins – Peanut Butter Banana Nut Muffins

Elvis Muffins

This classic combination, made famous by Elvis – Peanut Butter & Bananas, come together in these delicious, moist muffins.  These muffins are so good, you won’t want to stop eating them!  Personally, I may never make regular Banana Nut Muffins again.

These muffins were my first time using my new Silicone Cupcake Liners.  Love, love, love them!  The muffins practically fell out of them and to clean them, I just turned them inside out and brushed them with a little soapy water.  Super easy to clean.  No kidding, you need to get a set of these. You’re welcome. 🙂

Recipe for Elvis Muffins – Peanut Butter Banana Nut Muffins

Preheat oven to 375º F.  Prepare muffin pans by greasing them with cooking oil or non stick spray or line them with cupcake liners.  (Silicone ones work the best! – See above.)

In one bowl, whisk together:

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2/3 cup chopped pecans

In another bowl, whisk together:

1 egg
3 mashed bananas
3/4 cup light brown sugar
4 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add flour mixture to wet ingredients.  Stir just until combined.  Don’t over mix.  Batter should be smooth.

Spoon into muffin cups.  Fill 3/4 full.

Bake about 15-18 minutes.  Toothpick inserted in center of muffin will come out clean.   Cool a few minutes before removing from pan.

*When I made these, there was some batter left over so I greased a small loaf pan and made a little mini loaf of peanut butter banana bread.

Skinny Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients:

1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 egg white, beaten
2/3 cup diced strawberries
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º F degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, gently toss the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and applesauce until together until no brown sugar lumps remain – a fork works well to break up the brown sugar here. Add the beaten egg white until fully incorporated. Add the wet ingredients to the dry until *just* combined – do not overmix. Fold in the strawberries and chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly between 10 muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Muffins will be lightly golden in color and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.  Allow muffins to cool and enjoy!

Muffins stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for 7 days.  Muffins can be frozen.
