We don’t need to discuss my love of muffins again do we? Okay, good. I’m also loving Honey Roasted Peanut Butter right now =). It’s slightly sweeter than regular peanut butter with just a hint of honey roasted flavor. (Honey roasted has 7 grams of sugar per serving and plain has 3 grams, so not a huge difference.) When paired with banana, this honey roasted peanut butter makes one good muffin! Peanut butter and banana already go together so well and then throw in some honey flavor – delicious! The banana flavor isn’t too strong, but provides some natural sweetness and helps the muffins to be light and fluffy. These muffins aren’t overly sweet, so if you want a sweet, cupcake-like muffin you will probably want to add another tablespoon or two of honey. Enjoy!
