A new twist on banana bread.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These banana muffins are light and fluffy. The peanut butter frosting is so good, you'll have a hard time not eating it from the bowl! It's light, creamy and pure peanut butter happiness. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and you'll be in heaven.

Note: We filled and frosted these... I highly recommend doing that. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Banana Muffins with Peanut Butter Cream Filling

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
Cream butter and add sugar, vanilla, eggs and milk and beat till smooth.
Mash bananas in a bowl and add to wet mixture.
Slowly add the dry and mix until just combined.
Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. Add batter almost to the top (should make 12 large).
Bake for about 20 min or until done.
Cool.
Peanut Butter Cream: Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and vanilla till smooth.
Add powdered sugar and beat again till smooth.
Fold in Cool Whip.
Pipe into muffins.
I sometimes frost all of the muffins. Enjoy!
