Plus, they're filled with peanut butter and banana - a fantastic and flavorful pairing. If you'd like to jazz them up even more, add a handful of chocolate chips, walnuts, or sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top.

Ripe bananas
Just like banana bread, you're going to want to use very ripe bananas for this recipe.
Ripe bananas are sweeter and softer. This makes them easier to incorporate into the batter, and provide natural sweetness for your muffins.
That's why you always see banana bread recipes calling for very ripe or old bananas.
Sugar substitute
Sugar substituteIf you're looking for an alternative for the sugar in the recipe, there are many options.
Feel free to substitute with honey or maple sugar instead. Both will work great.

- Add granulated sugar and baking soda and mix until well combined.
