My kids love muffins so I am always trying new muffin recipes...or I am making good old standbys.  But today I tried a new one and it is scrumptious!  So I am sharing a photo & the recipe with you.  You will definitely want to make these!

Don't they look delicious?

You will need the following:
* 1 cup old-fashioned oats
* 1 cup whole-wheat flour
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. baking soda
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1 egg
* 3/4 cup milk (I used 1%)
* 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
* 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
* 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Topping Ingredients:
* 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/3 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
* 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients.  In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, and vanilla.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in chocolate chips.

Fill greased or paper-lined miniature muffin cups three-fourths full.  For topping, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, peanuts and chocolate chips.  Sprinkle over muffins.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. 

**I also made regular sized muffins and baked them for 20 minutes.**

Serve warm with a large glass of milk.  :)  Enjoy!
