Peanut Butter Muffins

These are really good and super easy. I just put around 1/2 cup raw baby carrots, a full banana, a dash of applesauce, the peanut butter, and the egg whites in the food processor and pureed them in one fell swoop.

I have a feeling this link won't be available for long, so here's the recipe...


PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

½ cup natural peanut butter

½ cup carrot puree

½ cup banana puree

2 large egg whites

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.

2. In a large bowl, mix ½ cup of the brown sugar with the peanut butter, carrot and banana purees and the egg white, using a wooden spoon.

3. Put the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl and mix. Add to the bowl with the peanut butter mixture and stir just to combine (batter will be lumpy). Add the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar and stir once or twice.

4. Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack to cool.

Apparently this is an adaptation from the cookbook listed in the story. I will have to check it out of the library and give it a looksee.
