• 2 eggs
• 1 c. milk
• ¼ c. banana (about 1 banana), mashed with a fork
• ¼ c. peanut butter
• 1/3 c. vegetable oil
• ¼ c. frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed (left out of the freezer until it's soft)
• ¼ c. nonfat dry milk
• 2¼ c. flour
• 1½ tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda

• muffin/cupcake tin
• paper muffin/cupcake liners
• wire rack
• measuring cups and spoons

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C).
2. In a small bowl, break the eggs and use a fork to beat them a little bit.
3. In a large bowl, combine the milk, mashed banana, peanut butter, vegetable oil, apple juice, dry milk, and the eggs from the small bowl. Mix with a mixing spoon until the mixture is creamy.
4. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the large bowl. Mix again.
