PEANUT BUTTER BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS

~ Annie's Eats

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. old-fashioned oats
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 T. applesauce
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c. mashed banana (about 3 bananas)
6 T. peanut butter
1 c. buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line or grease 18 muffin cups.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, mix applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, banana, peanut butter, and buttermilk until smooth. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir just until blended.

Pour batter into muffin cups and bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 5-10 minutes, then cool completely on wire rack.

Makes 18 muffins.

Notes: We all like them made as directed, but some of us like to spread peanut butter on top and garnish with a banana slice (or three), which was suggested on the Annie's Eats link above.
