• ½ tsp. (2.5 mL) baking soda

• Optional addition: ½ c. (125 mL) raisins or dark chocolate chips

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Mix all dry ingredients together. Set aside.
3. Mash the bananas and set aside.
4. Mix together the peanut butter, milk, syrup, egg and vanilla extract. Then add the mashed banana.
5. Once the wet ingredients are blended together well, add the dry ones. Stir everything together.
6. Scoop the batter into your favourite muffin tin and bake for 18–20 minutes. Oven times may vary. You can check to see if the muffins are done by inserting a toothpick or knife and looking to see if it comes out clean.
