Moose Tracks Banana Bread Muffins

If you like moose tracks ice cream, you will love these super moist moose tracks banana muffins!  You will love how these muffins are laced with fudge and packed with peanut butter cups!

My recipes for moose tracks cookie bars, and moose tracks cookies have been delicious!  I decided to take the concept further and make moose ways banana muffins.   These banana muffins have the same flavors as moose tracks ice cream but are baked into banana bread muffins.   These muffins make a delicious dessert, brunch, breakfast, or snack.   They will be a massive hit with your family and friends!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

One teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup of mashed ripe bananas, two or three bananas

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

Two  tsp vanilla extract

Two large eggs

1/2 cup of small or crushed peanut butter cups

1/2 cup of hot fudge, warmed up

If you don’t have peanut butter cups, add peanut butter and chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips to get the same flavor.  I prefer the peanut butter cups from Aldi or Trader Joe’s for this recipe,  but Reese’s peanut butter cup leftover from Halloween will also do just fine.

Equipment

Large bowl or medium bowl

Mixer

Muffin Pan

muffin cups or muffin liners

cooking spray can be used in place of muffin liners.

wire rack for cooling

oven

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 18 muffin tins  with liners or grease muffin tins

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Whisk Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.

3. Combine bananas, oil, vanilla extract,  brown sugar, and eggs in a second bowl.

4. Add the dry and wet ingredients to form a batter.

5. Warm-up hot fudge in the microwave. Drizzle hot fudge into the batter with most peanut butter cups and fold in, but don’t over-mix them.

6. Fill each muffin tin 3/4 full with batter.

7. Top off each muffin with the leftover peanut butter cups.

8. Bake the muffins for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

9. let the banana muffins cool before serving.

Can I make this banana bread in a loaf pan?

Yes! You can make this recipe in a loaf pan; you will want to increase the baking time to 50 minutes.

This banana bread will taste exactly like homemade moose tracks ice cream!  If you like this recipe, you might want to try the following:

Storage:  You can store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.  You can also freeze them in the freezer for up to a month.  I would avoid storing these in the fridge. They will dry out.

Can this recipe be made gluten-free?

I am not an expert on gluten-free baking. I suggest you make your favorite gluten-free banana bread recipe and add the peanut butter cups and fudge!

These moist and fluffy moose tracks banana muffins are the perfect peanut buttery treat any day.  You can whip these muffins up on a whim.  They taste great with a piping hot mug of coffee and tea when you need to unwind.
