Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins

I rarely find a recipe that literally everyone in my family loves, but this one falls into that category! All three of my kids devour these muffins when I make them, and I send them in my husband's lunch for work. I hope they turn out to be a family favorite at your house, too!


Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Yield: 18-24 muffins

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Quick Cooking Oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp applesauce (or vegetable oil)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed banana (about 3 bananas)
6 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (equals 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line muffin cups with paper liners.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together with a fork to blend.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, banana, peanut butter, and sour cream until smooth.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated and fully blended. Fold in peanut butter chips.
5. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Allow to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: For mini muffins, bake about 12 minutes.
