How to Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Don’t these muffins sound sinful? Well, they’re not very sinful…In fact, they’re kind of healthy.

I use a whole wheat flour base instead of all-purpose flour, and add some nutritious ingredients that get “hidden” so that your family won’t even know they’re healthier for them! LOL

Type: Muffin Recipe
Serve With: Milk & Enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20-22 mins
