Apple Butter Banana Bread Muffins
Apple butter gives this banana bread a soft texture and warm, comforting flavor that’s perfect for busy mornings. These make a great breakfast, snack, or lunchbox treat for both kids and adults.
TIP: We like to bake it in a muffin tin so it bakes quickly and packs easily for lunches, but a loaf pan works just as well.Servings: 12 muffins

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tin with greaseproof liners and set aside.
- Using a fork or a mixer, mash the bananas. If your bananas are not very ripe, you can bake them in the oven at 300° F until the skin turns black.

- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin tin about half way with batter.
- Dollop a spoonfull of apple butter on top of each muffin. Spread the apple butter with a spoon, then add batter until the liner is full.
