The Elvis: Peanut Butter and Banana Muffins

The Elvis: Peanut Butter & Banana Muffin

This muffin was inspired by Elvis Presley's favorite sandwich, fried peanut butter and banana, not the healthiest choice. I have incorporated a few ingredients that put a healthy slant on this favorite flavor combination.
