Banana Peanut Butter Muffins

These muffins are inspired by 2 co-workers. They went to a conference and came back talking about a delicious treat they had....banana bread with peanut butter. 
Me being me, I started brainstorming how I could make my own version. 
A family member told me Elvis is turning over in his grave at the sound of this recipe and a co worker today told me it was hands down the best food I've made that she has tasted so far! :) 


Muffin Ingredients:

  •         2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Frosting Ingredients: 

        1/2 cup powdered sugar
        1/2 cup peanut butter(I used fresh Whole Foods peanut butter)
        2 Tbsp softened unsalted butter
        1/2 tsp vanilla extract
        1 tsp or so of milk(add if consistency isn't frosting smooth)

For Muffins: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Peel bananas, and mash in bowl with fork or potato masher. Add brown sugar, oil, and egg; beat until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir until smooth. Stir in greek yogurt and vanilla. Fill muffin liners three-quarters full. 
  3. Bake about 25 minutes for regular muffins.Transfer to wire rack to cool. 

For Frosting: 

In small bowl combine all ingredients and whisk until combine. Once cupcakes have cooled, place a small amount of frosting on top of each muffin. Yum-o!
