Elvis Muffins (adapted from skinnytaste.com)
3 medium ripe bananas
1 1/4 c. all purpose flour
3/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
2 T. butter, softened
1/3 c. light brown sugar
1/3 c. unsweetened apple sauce
2 large egg whites
1/2 t. vanilla extract
10 T. peanut butter (1/2 c. + 2 T.)
Preheat the oven to 325. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners and set aside.
Mash the bananas in a bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add apple sauce, egg whites, vanilla, 1/2 c. peanut butter and mashed bananas at medium speed until thick. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add flour mixture, then blend at low speed until combined. Do not over mix.
Pour batter into muffin tin halfway, then add 1/2 t. of the remaining peanut butter into each muffin well. Top off each muffin with the remaining batter, and bake on the center rack for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make these ahead and keep them around for breakfast or after school snacks! Delicious!
