Not long ago I was really wanting muffins. I had bananas to use up, I sort of wanted peanut butter and glancing through my pantry I found chocolate chips. Yum! These flavors all work great in a smoothie together, why not in a muffin too! I quickly jumped over to Pinterest to look for peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins and realized there really weren’t any recipes for this specific combination. I think I may have found one or two, but none of them sounded good to me.
It was at this point I realized I needed to create my own recipe and I had to do it fast! I researched a few peanut butter muffin recipes and a few banana muffin recipes to get some basic measurements and ideas for how much to add in, then I went to work experimenting. The first batch came out good but I wanted to see if I could get a bit more peanut butter flavor, so I upped the amount of peanut butter, then it seemed to overpower the recipe a bit. I’ll let you decide how much peanut butter you want to try.
After all that work, here is the peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffin recipe I came up with.
