These muffins will do a lot to assuage hunger pangs in the workplace because the main ingredients - high-protein peanut butter and potassium-rich bananas - will provide an energy boost.
Peanutbutter banana muffins
125 ml (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
75 ml (1/3 cup) peanut butter
300 ml (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
125 ml (1/2 cup) whole wheat flour
10 ml (2 tsp.) baking powder
5 ml (1 tsp.) cinnamon

250 ml (1 cup) very ripe mashed bananas, about 2 large
10 ml (2 tsp.) vailla
75 ml (1/3 cup) unsalted peanuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 190 C (375 C). Lightly spray or grease 12 muffin tins.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in peanut butter. Pour into a large bowl to cool. In a medium bowl, place flours, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda. Whisk together, ensuring there are no lumps.
Stir sugar into cooled peanut butter mixture. Then stir in eggs until completely blended. Stir in bananas and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
Spoon into muffin tins. Sprinkle with peanuts, gently pushing into batter. Bake in centre of preheated oven until golden and a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove muffins from pan to a rack to cool.
