Oh, what a bad blogger I have been! Having not posted a
brand new recipe since Christmas, I knew it was high time I got on with it!
So,
on a blustery April Sunday afternoon, baking was on the agenda, and these lovely muffins were just begging to be blogged.
Two overly ripe bananas were the starting point, and the rest just fell into
place. I had intended to blend the peanut butter in with the immersion blender, but decided at the last minute that the crunchy peanut chunks in the
peanut butter would lend a lovely texture to the muffin, and I was right!
Smooth peanut butter would work as well, and if that’s all you have, don’t
dismay. The flavour will still be lovely!
You will notice there is no added sugar in the batter. With two bananas,
and the chocolate chunks, I think they are perfectly sweet enough. They are grain free, gluten free and dairy
free too, for those who avoid dairy! Lovely for breakfast, or with an afternoon cup of tea, I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
