peanut butter banana oat muffins

This is a great post-workout snack... made with protein, potassium, whole grains, and fiber.

1 1/2 cups whole grain oats

1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup skim milk

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 large banana, mashed

1/4 cup crunchy salted natural peanut butter

Mix the oats, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Lightly chop in a food processor.

Add and mix in the vanilla, milk, and egg.

Add and mix in the banana and peanut butter.

Pour this mixture into lightly greased cupcake pan and place into 350 degree oven until golden brown.

I served them topped with 1 teaspoon additional peanut butter.
