Given how much I love all things mini-batch and banana bread, these muffins have been long overdue. But now we got them!
Got some ripe banana but not enough baking attention span to make banana bread? These soft yummy muffins are for you, they will insta scratch the banana bread itch, so enjoy them and move on to your next dessert/snack-venture.
I chopped some peanut butter cups and folded them in this time because I was hashtag obsessed with peanut butter cups that week, but you can use any mix in you desire, chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit.
Just whatever you fold in, remember to leave a comment or tag me on instagram because I’m dying to know what you think!

I made these for breakfast today, and they were so tasty! I mixed in some chocolate chips and spread some peanut butter on top and they were just *chef’s kiss*. Highly recommend making these!
P.S – Check out Elif’s Instagram page. She has helped me so much on changing my thoughts around food and body image. Even until a few weeks ago, I was too scared to use oil and real sugar and obsessively counted every calorie. Now I’m focused on trying to nourish my body and giving it what it wants, when it wants.
Your comment and especially your PS means the world to me, I’ll cry. Every body and mind needs food freedom, it’s a cage I suffered in for too long. I’m so SO GLAD we’re on this journey together!! And YUP life is better with yummy soft fresh muffins! HUGS!
