Peanut butter and banana is a classic combo. Just one bite takes us back into childhood; into days of PB n' B sandwiches with the crusts cut off; of carefree days nights; and picnics on sunny afternoons. But in a muffin? I had to check it out! The result was pleasantly delicious and these were gobbled up in no time.

1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
