Peanut Butter Banana Muffins Recipe with Cinnamon Chips
Banana muffins are another way to use up overripe bananas. I have been trying to create a good peanut butter banana muffins recipe for a while now. I finally got a winner.
I am extremely pleased with how this batch turned out, and they are extra delicious with the cinnamon chips. Cinnamon chips might just be a new obsession of mine.
Banana Muffins with Peanut Butter
Due to Mike’s recent banana obsession, I am finding myself with many overripe bananas. There’s a small time-frame in which bananas are the proper ripeness for Mike.
After they get too yellow, he’s no longer interested. Fine by me since I am having fun creating different banana bread recipes and goodies.

No, I only used cinnamon chips because they are new to me and I love them. Feel free to use chocolate chips, nuts, or anything else you like in muffins.
