Ingredients
Muffins:
- 1 1/2 cups bran cereal (I used All-Bran)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup mashed banana about 2 large bananas
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Crumb Topping:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Peanut Butter Drizzle:
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the bran cereal and the milk and allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Combine the peanut butter and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the bran mixture, brown sugar, banana and egg and stir just until combined.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, dividing the mixture between the 12 cups. (The cups will be full.)
- In a small bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar and flour, using a fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it is crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel over the top of the muffins.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, melt the peanut butter in a bowl. Stir in the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add more milk, if needed, until it is a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the mixture over the tops of the cooled muffins.
