Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5.

2. Fill a muffin tray with 12 paper muffin cases.

3. Mix the flour, oats, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, and then stir in the sugar, mashed bananas, peanut butter and the melted butter.

5. Add the milk and stir to combine.

6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; do not over mix.

7. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the tops spring back when gently touched.

8. Allow to stand for a minute before turning out to cool on a wire rack.

double up the butter, add chopped nuts or more peanut buttter, tablespoon of vanilla extraxt and 2 teaspoons of mixed spice and you are onto a winner!!! extra butter keeps them moist

After the comments below i added cinamon and gave each muffin a sprinkle of brown sugar and a little more cinamon. The oats and peanut butter give them lovely texture as well as making them lower GI!

These muffins aren't great. As other people have said they are pretty bland, I added twice as much peanut butter and they still didn't taste of much. Mine were also quite spungy and not very moist. I'm not sure what the oats were for, with only 50g you hardly notice them, and I don think they added anything. I won't be trying this recipe again. Banana muffins are usually my favourite and adding peanut butter sounds great but I think I'll look for another recipe next time I have bananas going brown. Disappointed.

Lovely, lovely, however next time will use more peanut butter, and wont put into paper cases as made some with out paper cases and they turned out superb.

Very simple to make but a little bland, perhaps because I used a non-salted peanut butter that was very thick? Texture of the muffin was lovely though.
I made half the recipe and baked in a silicone muffin pan. They did not 'burst' over the top of the muffin case as I expected but still looked appetising. I think if I'd used a smaller cake tin they'd have acheived that 'muffin top' look.

this is a nice simple recipe and was tasty, good to use up old bananas. 3 stars

I would suggest some salt in the recipe

I made this right now and they taste O.K, I would not say they are 'tempting' however. I think for next time i will use the tips on this board and blend the peanut butter and banana-so the taste and flavour can be felt with every bite! Also, would leave out the oats-I think that's what is maing it lack flavour

Can't understand...

ive just made them with my friend and they turned out to be a complete disaster, they didnt rise and they didnt see to have any flavour, i think i need to give them another go.

My 2year old, and myself made these muffins yesterday.They where very easy to make, my daughter did most of the work,except hot bits.she thought it was great baking with her daddy.muffins came out fine, very nice,well done Rachel,Grace&her daddy.

I made the muffins and they came out pretty good. I weighed and measured all the ingredients accurately. A key instruction that I follow carefully is not to over mix. They looked nice, so I took and submitted a photo of my results.

me and derek made these following the recipie also but they weren't fantastic we think we should have SIEVED the flour , so we will try again and probably use self raising flour also ,,

sineadC328 sineadC328 Posted 25 Feb 2009 9:53 AM
 

I used self raising flour and it worked really well, they where a hit with the whole family, I also made a second batch and added dried fruit and sunflower seeds as well as the banana and peanut butter, my 2 year old loved them.

I just made this recipe (just left out the oats) and had no problems, but the mix needs to be very thick, or it will come out really gluggy. I also blended the peanut butter, bananas, eggs and melted butter in my blender so it was nice and smooth.

I followed this recipe to the letter, and not only was there enough mixture for way more than 12 muffins, 'muffins' isn't what you end up with. I got stodgy, gluey, horrible scone-like things. They look terrible, taste even worse. I asked my friend to try this in case it was just me, and she ended up with the same. I can only think that perhaps the quantities are wrong on here or something, but I went on Amazon and one of the reviewers had the same problem, so maybe Rachel alone holds the secret to this recipe!
