I decided to turn banana bread into something you absolutely couldn’t resist with a snickerdoodle twist! This time we’ve got Cinnamon Banana Doodle Muffins with a secret ingredient – peanut butter!
These muffins are heavenly. They’re light as air and melt in your mouth with just a hint of peanut butter. My taste testers had no idea there was peanut butter until I told them. You can taste it just a bit.
I used buttermilk along with two ripe bananas with a half cup of peanut butter as well as a cup of cinnamon chips. I’ve been saving these cinnamon chips since early this year. You can’t always find them in the stores.
I love cooking with buttermilk. It adds a little sourness to recipes like muffins and pancakes that just makes them taste amazing. When I don’t have buttermilk on hand, I make it myself with regular milk and lemon juice. Just add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per half cup of milk. Then, just let it curdle for a few minutes. Works for me every time!
To top them off, I made a cinnamon-sugar mixture and sprinkled it on just before baking.
This is definitely one of my favorite muffins to bake.
