Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffin
Happy Friday!
Wow, this was a long week, how about for anyone else? I got sick (again), hibernated most days, and generally felt like a recluse! Maybe that's how most Januarys go when you live in New England.
Anyways, to bring some sunshine into my days I've been fiddling around in the kitchen and came up with this sweet but not too sweet muffin. I love crunchy peanut butter, bananas, and chocolate (well, who doesn't?). So I figured, why not combine all three and see what happens?
It was beautiful what happened. You need to make this recipe stat. It's very simple and won't consume much of your time. Best of all? There are no oils or vegan butters, so you can enjoy them with half the guilt!
