peanut butter muffins

(from this cute cookbook)

what goes in it:

*1 c brown sugar (i used about 1/2-3/4 c honey instead)

*1/2 c banana puree

*1 large egg white

*1 c whole wheat flour

*1 tsp baking powder

*1 tsp baking soda

>in a large mixing bowl, mix 1/2 c of the brown sugar w the peanut butter, the vegetable & banana purees, & the egg white, using a wooden spoon. (if using honey just add all the honey here.)

>put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt in a bowl & stir. add to the bowl w the peanut butter & stir just to combined (the batter will be a little lumpy--do not overmix). add the remaining 1/2 c brown sugar & stir once or twice.
