Peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins

So I adapted this recipe from one that Emily posted on our other blog and I'm telling you they are delish! The regular version are fantastic as well, but peanut butter seems to make everything better :)














Ingredients
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon chunky
peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda**
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350. Line or grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
Beat together the butters and sugar in a medium bowl, then add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Divide batter into the muffin cups, they’ll be nearly full. Bake the muffins until a cake tester inserted in the center of one comes out clean, 23-28 minutes. Remove from oven and after a couple of minutes transfer the muffins to a rack to cool.

**this recipe is for high altitude, so if you live at a low elevation, increase the baking soda to one teaspoon.
