Low Fat Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Moist and delicious muffins made with ripe mashed bananas, apple sauce and Better'n Peanut Butter. These are so awesome!

I had a request to make low fat banana peanut butter muffins a few weeks ago and figured even though it's not something I would normally eat, I'm sure you would all like them. Well who knew how good they would be!

I put a little extra peanut butter in the center of each muffin to give you the extra peanut butter flavor when you bite in. The only way I could make these light was to use Better'n Peanut Butter, I buy it at Trader Joe's. I'm sure PB2 would work as well but I haven't tried it in this recipe. Of course, regular peanut butter would work too but you'll have to adjust the nutritional info.
