Fluffernutter Muffins
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large banana, mashed
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
12 teaspoons marshmallow cream
1 ounce white chocolate, finely chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together banana, peanut butter, brown sugar and oil until creamy - about 1-2 minutes; beat in vanilla and egg until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture, alternating with milk.
Divide 1/3 of the batter into muffin cup bottoms. Place a teaspoon of marshmallow cream into each center and top with remaining muffin batter. Evenly sprinkle white chocolate on tops.
Bake 20-22 minutes or until light golden brown and risen. Cool 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
Makes 12 muffins
Wow! Congratulations! If I were in the US I would definitely tune in...I'll have to ask my mom to do it for me!
ReplyDeleteOMG Emily, congratulations on the showdown - thats amazing! ;) im so happy for you, has it already been filmed? did you win? oh boy, I so wanna know and hope you did well! i dont get why you didnt go for one of your great sweet creations though, you'd wow everybody straight away! i guess you wanted to show another side of your skills or i just dont get the rules, hehe. i'm still waiting to know whether i'll actually make it to tv soon and the suspense is killing me! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese muffins look amazing! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI've got to make these - just for the name.....
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being nominated! You definitely deserve it especially with recipes like this one.
ReplyDeleteWow....love these muffins. Looks perfect....pretty and delicious! I wish I can have one to go with a cup of hot tea.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, CONGRATS on the nomination! What a great recognition of your fantastic goodies :).
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I must make these muffins asap. My parents never bought marshmallow fluff, so of course as a kid I craved it like all of the other foods they kept out of the house. I have since found a couple of all-natural versions that are wonderful, and would hopefully work in this recipe. I can't wait to try it out!
Your fluffernutter muffins look fantastic. I love the combination in them. And congrats on being nominated - you deserve it! You have terrific desserts, absolutely! I will vote for you!
ReplyDeleteSo much excitement is happening these days Emily...how do you contain yourself:D
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW!!! Ultimate Recipe Showdown with Guy???? Super Congrats!! I'm so jealous!! Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese?? OK I guess I'll give that a try!! Not sure about the pumpkin soup though!! May have to watch the show first!! :) OK folks get to the sight and give Em a vote! I just did and it's quite easy to sign up and vote!! That's quite an honor and I think we can all agree she works quite hard on her site to provide us with some great recipes and can be quite entertaining at times!! (I think) Good Luck Em and if you can't find out who nominated you you can send me their pie! ;)
ReplyDeleteCurt in KC
Congrats on being on Ultimate Recipe Showdown! I saw the commercials for it and was wondering if you would be on it again. I've been reading your blog for a while and absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteSo much excitement in this post Emily!!! Just voted for you and can't wait to tune in on March 14. You're totally famous! :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! You are way deserving of that award. You bake from the heart, which is why you won.
ReplyDeleteI admit I love fluffernutters too. Sometimes I see marshmallow cream in the store and think, "Maybe I should go for it," but my waistline votes no. Maybe you should just send me a muffin. Love the addition of bananas. That just knocks the fluffernutter over the top.
I voted for you, of course! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThis absolutely rocks. Just one question: if, say, you had a large population of folks who dislike banana, what would you use in its place?
ReplyDelete"I'd love to have a throwdown sometime with him..." HA HA HA! You're going to be on Ultimate Recipe Showdown again?! AND you're nominated for best baking/dessert blog?! Congratulations and go you! :)
ReplyDeleteThese muffins sound delish. My dad would love them.
Your awesomeness just grows by leaps and bounds. You belong on the small screen. And why does Saveur only let you vote once?!!
ReplyDeleteThe burst of marshmallow cream in the middle is sooo clever!
Just found you through Saveur. Congratulations on the nomination! I made some banana chocolate chip muffins with peanut butter buttercream the other day. My little sister commented that I should have added fluff to them. I'll have to send this recipe along to her!
ReplyDeleteWow Emily! This is exciting on so many levels! First congrats on being nominated by Saveur! Yes, I voted for you! (Tough competition by the way.)
ReplyDeleteAnd then the Food Network competition. What fun that's going to be. Can't wait!
And lastly, your wonderful Fluffernutter muffin recipe. YUM!
Well well well, congratulations are in order! For Saveur et Food Network !
ReplyDelete(and also for those wonderful fluffernutter muffins!)
What a cute idea! The muffins make me think of the sandwiches form my childhood, too! Also, congrats on being nominated AND your showdown. Good luck with both!
ReplyDeleteI just had a fluffernutter for lunch today. Also hadn't had them for years - back on a kick now :) Nice muffins. Would be great to for a mom to make for her kid to bring to school etc.
ReplyDeleteWow - Congratulations on all your success! And these muffins look and sound SUPER tasty!
ReplyDeleteWow.. I can't wait to try these.
ReplyDeleteI voted for you! And congrats on the showdown!
ReplyDeleteholy smokes, my jaw literally dropped when i saw the title of this post. i immediately scrolled down to read the recipe MMMMM! then of course, i went back up and read your whole post, haha. i'm voting for you on the saveur website right now -- i haven't even heard of the other sites. ;) and YESS i'm so ready for march 14. ok now that i sound obsessed with you..i'm gonna go write my own blog post. haha!!
ReplyDeleteI love a fluffernutter sammie, too! And yay for you and your nomination. I like your blog better than DL's, he's just a little too deep for me. ;) I think he's amazing mind you, but I'd rather just look at yummy food and hear funny things from you! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's about time I get my buns over here. I'm so behind and hate that. I hate knowing I'm missing out on yummy things.
And NYC--lucky you, again. I'm not sure when you asked, because I'm starting at the most recent and working my way through your posts I've missed (like 11 of them! aahh!), but my vote is for Mesa Grill. I've been there. It was fantastic! Seriously, not sure I've ever had better food!
Ok, off to check out all your other yummy posts. Sigh. I'll try to be better, now that our house is on the market, the nasty, hard, dejunking/cleaning part is over, I'm hoping to have a little more time. And I'll end this really long novel now! ;)
Those sound, and look delicious!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteenjoy mesa grill (and those other, lesser establishments...)! :)
ReplyDeleteand wow, congrats on all the wonderful things coming your way--soak it in!
finally, tremendous muffins. it really is a stellar combination of goodies!

ReplyDeleteHi Page!
Curt, you're funny.
Rachel, yes, I know what you mean. It's pure sugar!
Fearless Kitchen, :( Wellll, let me think. Some type of fruit puree? A little yogurt?
Sue, why thank you!
Congrats on the nomination and the showdown! I loved when you were on the first time, and I think I have said this before, but that pastrami sammie is a staple in our house now!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and I will be tuning in for sure!
Also, the muffins...my kids say thank you in advance :)
Congratulations!!! How awesome and well deserved!
ReplyDeleteWOOO HOOO!! I am so happy for you! I loved watching you on that last one! I'll be sure to set my DVR!!
ReplyDeleteWhy are we not living in the same city and hanging out like EVERY day!?!?! LOL I want one of these muffins!!! I have an obsession with anything peanut butter, and especially the fluffernutter! My mom used to make me fluffernutter sandwiches in my lunch all the time! People always thought I was weird, if only they would have tired it they would have known what they were missing out on! You can always send me some if you need to get some off your hands! :o)
Congrats on your nomination Emily - what fabulous news and so well deserved! I just voted :)
ReplyDeleteYay for URS!! I'm SO excited to watch!! And, try your mac&cheese and soup :)
And finally, what yummy muffins - great idea to put the marshmallow cream in the center!
The muffins look yummy and so soft and tender. Congratulations on the blog nomination
ReplyDeleteI would've voted for you but I can't register! Anyways good luck for the showdown, it would be amazing if you won!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! I'll vote for you!
ReplyDeleteDo I get a vote for the NYC meal? If so, I agree about Daniel. And have you been to Chikalicious? If not, you must go. It is required! Three courses of dessert. Oh yes. Email me if you want a "partner in crime"! :)
Good luck on the showdown!
Again?! Yay! Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese...is there bacon in there?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, these cupcakes? The very definition of my childhood. Can't wait to try them. I wonder if they sell fluffernutter in DC?
Congrats to you on Saveur loving your fab blog! You do deserve the honor! Best of luck....these fluffernutter muffins sound divine!!
ReplyDeleteThese look delish! I voted dear! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on both your Saveur nomination and the contest entry - and good luck with both!! I am fascinated by the word "Flutternutter" - how could anything called this be anything but delicious!
ReplyDeleteCongrats :)! Again, so happy for you :D.
ReplyDeleteThese muffins look perfect, seriously. With a name like fluffernutter and those tasty ingredients, who could say no?
I voted for you days ago :) Congratulations on the showdown...I can't wait to watch!
ReplyDeleteYou wanna hear something funny. I was on Tastespotting today and I saw the picture of these muffins and thought to myself "that sounds like something Emily would make" and then I looked and saw you made it...haha.
Hi I'm Amalia you dont know me but...congratulations! I just voted for you! When I first saw the options I thought it was a very hard choice! But even though I love those other blogs I believe yours is super original and your recipes always blow me away! good job! (:
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all accounts! Some people at Saveur love your blog, trust me ;-). You totally deserve to be up there!
ReplyDeleteWith all of these competitions you are winning, you'll make it to culinary school in no time!
Wow ~ you so deserve to be on FN !! Congrats. And my vote is on for you on Saveur. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI love fluffernutters, but the grown-up in me has a hard time justifying it as a healthy meal option- I'd have a much easier time convincing myself it was okay in muffin form. (It's little! It's dessert!)
Awesome news! I love it when good things happen to awesome people!
ReplyDeleteI've head of fluffernutter sandwiches before but I'm guessing it's quite an American favourite. I've never had one! I must though, I adore marshmallows AND peanut butter. MMM, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
These are in the oven right now...They look so good so far. Thanks for the idea!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple easy scratch recipes you provide! Your content is interesting and informative!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Congrats on the nomination. You totally deserve it :)
ReplyDeleteYou have awesome recipes. I can understanding you getting as far as you go.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination! And I've never had a fluffernutter before. Maybe I should ease myself in by making these muffins first!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your nomination!! I voted...
ReplyDeleteI love Mesa Grill, went to the one in Vegas a couple of times.
I had a whole jar of fluff lying around and decided to make these for a party. They were gone before everyone got here!!
