Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the cups of a 24-count mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave on 50% power for 20-30 seconds at a time, just until melted. Add the peanut butter and stir to combine. Add the bananas. Mash the bananas into the peanut butter and melted butter until combined. Stir in the milk, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the mixture between muffin tins - about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter each. I use a cookie scoop - best invention ever!
- Bake until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed, 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in tins for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days. These muffins freeze well, too!

BANANA MINI CHOCO CHIP MUFFINS
Adapted from the Penzey's spices catalog. These are very moist and speckled with tiny bits of chocolate. I fill my muffin tins very full,m so I actually only get 12 large muffins (which require more like 20-25 minutes cooking time), but if you prefer smaller muffins, you will get 16-18 by filling the tins 3/4s full.

Steps:
- Grease 2 (12 hole) regular size muffin pans and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream butter and sugar together until combined well and fluffy.
- Add one egg, beat well; add second egg, beat well.
- Add vanilla and stir to combine.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Combine wet mixture and dry mixture using a spoon and stir just until all the ingredients are moistened- don't overmix and don't use an electric mixer or it will toughen the muffins (you can press out any big lumps with your spoon).
- Gently fold in the bananas and the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon into muffin tins so they are 3/4 full- you will probably only have enough batter for about 18.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
- Let cool 5-10 minutes in the pans, then gently slide a butter knife around the edges to help loosen any stubborn bits.
- Remove from tins and let cool or serve warm with butter.

Steps:
- 1. In a bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix mashed bananas and the melted butter together. Add the sugar, egg and vanilla, mix well.
- 2. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, stir. Add the chopped walnuts. Mix together, but don't over mix.
- 3. Line mini muffin tins with paper liners. Fill each liner 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees, for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Muffins will be lightly browned.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent them from clumping together.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Mini banana muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mini banana muffins every time. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
