Simple Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Gluten free and Toddler Approved!


I love to bake. Cooking is totally not my thing, but I am obsessed with making all the muffins, pies, cookies and breads. When Gianna was born, baking became total therapy for me. Something about a good playlist, a messy kitchen and a delicious treat just makes me happy.


Baked goods are usually loaded with sugar and fat, which is why of course they are so delicious. While I love my sweets and totally indulge in frosting right out of the jar, I also enjoy getting creative with recipes and “health-ifying“ then a bit. Especially now that Gigi has a sweet tooth like her mama, it‘s important to me to bake with whole food and eliminate processed ingredients as much as possible.


I found a recipe similar to this on Pinterest a few weeks ago and tried making it with a few of my favorite substitutions. It turned out delicious! I made a few more tweaks in my second batch this week and I think these will be part of our weekly meal prep. So easy, Gigi-approved and contains healthy fats, carbs and protein!
