Monkey Muffins

I had not made muffins in a really long time and now all of a sudden find myself in a "muffin mood" lately.  These were so good.  I froze half and was really glad when the rest got eaten because I couldn't stop eating them.  It is a great flavor combination.  YUM!!

  8. I'm the creator of Peanut Butter Monkey Muffins. I'm glad you enjoy the recipe. I like you addition of the sour cream. I bet them make the muffins richer and moister! I have started making these as mini muffins. My kids enjoy popping the little ones in their mouths and they are a great size to take to a large get together. I also have a much healthier version. Of course the healthy ones aren't as fabulous, but thought I would share it if you wanted to try. The recipe is at the bottom of the page.
