Recipes From The Road: Banana Muffins with Peanut Buddah Surprise


By theprofessionalhobo ~ April 19th, 2008. Filed under: Hawaii, recipes.

With bananas growing in abundance in Hawaii, and since I can only eat them if they are baked (I love them raw however they don’t love me so much), it was natural that we had to find a way to enjoy bananas in the baked-goods form.


Many an evening has been spent with these fresh hot muffins being devoured by our house-mates in varied states of ecstasy. The crispy topping and peanut butter filling are the clinchers.

And yes. They’re terrible for you if you’re on a low-sugar diet. Get over it.

1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 bananas, mashed
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup oil

½ cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional – I usually omit it due to guilt at this stage)

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp flour
3 tbsp rolled oats
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease 12 muffin cups.
Mix the first four ingredients in a large bowl.
In another smaller bowl blend the bananas, sugar, egg, and oil. Mix well.
Stir the wet mix into the dry mix and combine just until moist. Do not over-stir. Add apple sauce if the mixture is not moist enough.

Combine the peanut butter, egg, and brown sugar in a small bowl.

Fill the muffin cups almost half-way with the banana muffin mixture.
Drop a rounded teaspoonful of the peanut butter mixture into the middle of the muffins. Divide evenly between all 12 muffin cups.
Fill the muffin cups the rest of the way with the remaining banana muffin mixture.

Combine the last 5 ingredients. Mixture should be moist but (hopefully) crumbly. Sprinkle (or spread) evenly on top of muffins.


Bake for 18-20 minutes. I dare you not to eat them warm out of the oven.

    Hi Kat,
    Slab City sounds very interesting…a last bastion in the intentional community world…how long have you been there and how many people currently live there?

    This recipe looks wonderful!
    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you can never have too many muffin recipes!
    I still think you should include the brown sugar and let the guilt go! :o )
