I enjoy sweets. A lot. But the reality is that I shouldn't eat them all the time, nor should my children. These muffins allow for me to have just enough sweetness that they are a treat, while still remaining fairly healthy. I make these as mini muffins and heart-shaped muffins. Both sizes are appropriate for a child-sized snack! Shonda had made a loaf of bread that I simply adapted for the muffins.

Wilton makes a heart woopie pie tin which makes the muffins only about an inch thick, which is great for a quick snack.

Jif brand peanut butter is definitely my favorite. We buy the double jars to save money and use coupons, too. It's worth it.

YUM! These look amazing. I just bought bananas today, so I will have to try them out. Also a quick tip... if you don't have the heart shaped pan, you can use muffin cups, and put a small ball of tin foil between the paper and pan to create s heart shape. It won't be as pretty as the heart pan, but it still turns out cute!

ReplyDeleteI have seen heart muffins made in the regular pan, and I think they looked cute. I once made my eldest brownies for her class birthday treat. To make them a bit cuter, I had a heart paper that I used to cover some of the brownie, and then sprinkled powdered sugar around it. She was pleased, but then again, children usually are!
Yup, these would be a hit in our household!
