How to Make Banana Muffins With Chocolate Peanut Frosting

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1 tablespoon lemon juice using a fork.
4. Add ½ cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. **Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (melted), and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the muffins are completely cool, frost generously with the chocolate peanut butter frosting. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or garnish with a banana slice for extra flair.
