Peanut Butter Truffle Banana Bread Muffins Recipe

I just love summer when the boys and I can bake together regularly. This is exactly what we did about a week ago, we played in the kitchen and came up with these yummy peanut butter truffle filled banana muffins.

These are simple, kid friendly and peanut buttery delicious. Please excuse my Instagram fetish, it is so convenient during the summer when time is of the essence with my little stinkers.

Hope you all enjoy! xoxo

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large ripe bananas or 3 small bananas
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  •  Place peanut butter and powdered sugar into a medium bowl, mixing until well combined. With a small cookie scoop, scoop evenly into the bottom of lined cupcake cups.
  • In a large bowl mash bananas until well mashed. Stir in sugars, egg and buttermilk until well combined. Slowly add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until just combined.
  • Evenly scoop batter over peanut butter truffle filled cups, about 3/4 full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool completely and serve.

Notes

After these finished photos I re-worked the banana bread recipe a touch so it was even more moist, so the texture of your muffins may look just slightly different than these photos :)  Never fear, they are incredible!!* xoxo
You can also choose to place your dollops of peanut butter truffle mix on top of the banana bread batter rather than on the bottom. Either way is scrumptious, just a slightly different look 🙂

    Jenny, these sound delicious! I love the pb/banana combo, definitely need to try these!

      Hi Val, I picked up the cupcake liners at the grocery store here in CA, they are by Reynolds (the same company who makes Reynolds Wrap). I have seen them numerous places. Look for the ones with the foil lining. They keep their color and shape perfectly!!

  2. Hannah

    I made these last night. They turned out so well! The ladies at work loved them too! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  3. Becki's Whole Life

    I love peanut butter and banana. These look amazing. You must have lots of patience to bake with your boys. I try to with my girls, but it always gets so chaotic. I usually save certain steps for them, but I would love to get to the point where they can help me with an entire recipe. Thanks for sharing this!

  4. jess☆ @ Multicultural Melbourne

    Ohhh I need to try these with a chocolate cupcake I think, kinda like a giant, cakey version of a Reese’s peanut butter cup… Nothing better than chocolate and peanut butter!!

  5. marla {family fresh cooking}

    Im not going to ‘excue’ your instagram fetish, i am going to praise it! I love that style of photography 🙂 I love stuffed anything (stuffed cookie fetish lately) and so a truffle centered muffin is right up my street! Just the word truffle brings on the dreamy eyes, this recipe looks drop dead awesome. Gorgeous 🙂

  11. Stephanie

    I just made these this morning, as soon as I saw this recipe! They are amazing! I love banana muffins (the banana recipe alone is delicious!), but that little pop of peanut butter and powdered sugar in each bite is heaven! I’ve already passed this along to my bff 🙂

  16. Wendy

    These look great… Unfortunately my husband does not like peanut butter – wonder how it would be using Nutella in place of the peanut butter?
