These are totally dessert muffins, not because they are so cakey, but because they are sweet and really lack any fiber whatsoever. Plus they are so very yummy. I was totally skeptical about the added peanut butter, assuming it would really overpower everything, but it didn’t; you could just taste it enough to compliment the bananas. Yum. Next time – double batch!
