Banana Fluffernutter Muffins

 

It's Monday.

It's the day after the Big Game.

It's a good day to give your body a rest from all that alcohol, greasy, and processed food.

It's a good day for a muffin. 

Yeah, a muffin.

A really good muffin.  

Not a 'Bung-me-up-or-turn-me-loose' bran muffin.

More like an 'I-want-a-something-different-and-interesting' kind of muffin.

Like these. 

Because they're awesome. 

Super awesome.  

And different.

Super different.

So do it. 

For you. 

For me. 

For the entire galaxy. 


That is all. 



BANANA FLUFFERNUTTER MUFFINS

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup ripe mashed bananas (about 2 large bananas)
¾ cup peanut butter
1 cup marshmallow fluff
Coarse sanding sugar

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin OR a 12-cup standard muffin tin with tulip-style paper liners. These liners will hold double the amount than regular paper liners.

In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together. 

In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together sugars, egg, buttermilk, melted butter, bananas, and peanut butter until completely incorporated.


Using a wooden spoon, gently add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix only until incorporated. Batter will be lumpy. 

 

Fold in marshmallow fluff. You want marshmallow fluff to create a streaky effect, not disappear into batter, so take care not to over mix. 


Using a large ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops into jumbo tin or tulip papers. Sprinkle with coarse sanding sugar or mini Marshmallows bits.



Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of muffin comes out clean. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool. 

Enjoy.
