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.

The Elvis Peanut Butter and Banana Muffin

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup old fashion oats
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 T unsalted butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 lg. egg
1/2 cup milk
3 mashed bananas
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients.
Blend the wet and dry ingredients in a large bowl, by hand. Put muffin batter in 12 muffin tin, paper lined, and then top with Topping. Bake for 20 minutes.

Topping:
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 T butter, melted
2 T dark brown sugar
Mix all ingredients together.
