There’s nothing quite like a warm banana muffin with a hot cuppa. Banana muffins have always been a crowd favourite in my household – perfect for breakfast, snack or even dessert! These were no exception, with the additions of coffee and cacao, these are the perfect sweet treat for coffee lovers. Delicious straight out of the oven, and lathered with more peanut butter!

TIPS AND TWEAKS
Lasts 2 days in airtight container, or up to 4 days in the fridge.
These are best served warm, and tastes the best on the first day. If you’re planning on freezing them, I would do so straight away, and reheat in the microwave. I lathered mine in more Pics Peanut butter and banana for extra sweetness.
