If you’re a lover of banana bread you’ll be completely knocked off your rocker with these creamy muffins. These little gems are made with peanut butter cream! I think Elvis Presley would have been smitten with these banana and PB muffins, don’t you? I can just hear him now saying to Priscilla in his velvety-smooth voice, “Cilla honey, bake me up some of them there peanut butter and nanner muffins!” My husband kind of said the same thing to me, haha! My entire family enjoys peanut butter and banana muffins and yours will, too 🙂
The gals over on facebook highly recommend frosting these muffins. I did and I am very pleased with the results.
