I am in the midst of a multi-state move. My dad loves banana nut muffins. I thought why not make a banana nut muffin recipe to thank him for driving the Uhaul for me.

Pregnant and craving peanut butter with banana and found by searching 'peanut butter banana muffins'. I *pretty much* followed as written.. except I had no self-raising so had to make it with baking soda and powder, I ran out of sugar so used about 3/4 cup sugar and then subbed with honey, I also had no icing sugar, so just did butter, peanut butter, and honey until it was a nice consistency.. I also had no muffin cups but buttering the pan worked fine. I was very paranoid that the honey would liquify but it didn't! I'm an avid cook but self-professed awful baker and they were still very good. I only needed to bake for 15 mins and they were nicely browned so 20 might have burnt them. The recipe made 15 in a cupcake tin! Would make again.. maybe your way.. maybe my what-was-in-the-pantry-during-covid-lockdown version! Thanks for sharing

I want to try making this for my 3 year old who loves peanut butter. For the filling can you substitute regular sugar instead of powdered if you dont have any?

No, not really, it isn't the same amount, the powder is ground down from granular. It would also make the peanut better more gritty instead of smooth
