Banana Peanut Butter Muffins

• Just a few ingredients, including pancake mix, are needed to make these tasty muffins.

• Made with Kodiak pancake mix, these muffins have a bit of protein for a filling and convenient breakfast, or tasty lunchbox or afternoon snack.

Ingredients and Substitutions

PANCAKE MIX – this versatile mix contains dry ingredients needed to make muffins, in one simple mix! And using a mix like Kodiak pancake mix, adds a bit of protein as well. So these muffins are a hearty and filling way to start the day!

BUTTERMILK – for moist and delicious muffins, this is the best ingredient. And if buttermilk is not available, simply make some from scratch. For every 1 cup milk, add 1 Tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Allow mixture to stand for about 5 minutes before using. Or use cream in place of milk, for even more moist and delicious muffins!

PEANUT BUTTER – both smooth or crunchy peanut butter works in this recipe. Or try other nut butters for variation!

BANANAS – what a great way to use up ripe bananas! But if bananas are not available, or not preferred, simply replace with unsweetened apple sauce or pumpkin puree.

A SWEET TOUCH – with only 1/4 cup brown sugar, this recipe is not too sweet. Use white sugar if brown sugar is not available. Chocolate chips are added, but can be omitted if desired. Try adding chopped dried fruit, raisins, or nuts in place of the chips!

How To Make Muffins With Pancake Mix

1. Mash bananas, blend in peanut butter, brown sugar and egg.
2. Add buttermilk and cinnamon.
3. Fold in pancake mix and chocolate chips until just combined.
4. Fill greased muffin tins, bake, remove and cool.

What To Serve With Muffins?

These muffins are super versatile and delicious. Serve them plain, or with just a bit of butter, peanut butter, or even a favorite jam! Perfect with a hot cup of coffee, Irish coffee or a cup of tea, these muffins can also be crumbled over ice cream for a tasty dessert treat!

Tips For Tasty Muffins!

It’s important to not over mix the batter, which can make the muffins tough.

Grease muffin tins with a cake release, cooking spray or just butter. Grease well to ensure muffins pop out easily! Or use parchment muffin tin liners, which are especially useful when taking muffins to a potluck or party!

Don’t overload the muffin with add in’s. While it may be tempting, the structural integrity of the muffin can be compromised when too much is added. So keep any combination of nuts, raisins, chocolate chips – or all three add-in’s, to less than 1 cup for this recipe.

I hope you love this easy recipe for Pancake Mix Muffins. It’s super quick to mix up!
