RECIPE: PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS WITH PB FROSTING

Well that’s a mouthful. And a delicious one at that! I made these muffins on Friday night to bring over to our neighbours house. They were all gobbled up pretty fast! They are actually really healthy muffins, with really unhealthy frosting. So I made some without any frosting so we could eat them with breakfast and not feel guilty. Try ‘em and let me know what you think!

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins with PB Frosting

(muffin recipe modified from here)

1 C old fashioned oats

1 tsp baking powder

^1/2 tsp baking soda

^1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp applesauce

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

5. Divide the batter evenly among 18 greased muffin cups. ( I like to use a ^1/3 C measuring cup to help )

6. Bake 18-20 minutes, until edges of the muffin tops are golden brown.

7. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely.
