Just come clean. Just fess up. Haven’t we all left home and come back with some big news? I have a new tattoo? I kissed a girl? I’m now vegan? Well I don’t have any tattoo inspired, girl smooching recipes up my sleeve at the moment, but I do have a scrumdelicious vegan recipe for anyone that loves warm, moist (yes I said the word moist) banana bread combined with an oozing peanut butter cup. This recipe was inspired and adapted from the gorgeous Jenny of Picky Palate. My story and recipe was featured in the holiday issue of Bridges Magazine. And even if you aren’t vegan; you’re gonna swoon for these muffins. They’re sweeter than any girl’s smooch.
Big thanks to my friend Darryl Taylor for the photography help and City Digz for hooking me up with the vintage Pyrex. Bisou Bisou and more Bisousssssssssssss.
Jenny, you cool biker chick! Love the way the vintage Pyrex match the colors of the bicycle. I really should try cycling with wedges because I’m sure that’ll stop traffic! And these banana peanut butter up muffins look positively droolicious, girl
. You’re the best of the best.

Love the article in Bridges, love your commentary, love the humor, love the wedges, bike and dress….Girl, I just love this blog!!!!!!
Oops! And I am going to try to sneak some of the vegan-goodness in on my holiday guests! (Don’t tell.)
Eliot- YOU are the absolute best. Thank you to the moon and back for giving me the encouragement to keep on rock’n.
My mouth is watering- I want one! Your fabulousness has no bounds! These sound like the perfect day after Thanksgiving breakfast, full of fruit and protein. Keep rockin that kitchen Jenny!
Thank you Kika!!! What in the world would I do without you?
You re te ga-rooviest Bakerella!!!!!
Miss Pagoda- Thank you sweeties. You pretty darn ga-rooooovy yourself. Smooches.
Look at you!!! Great write-up and published too. I had to laugh at your premise, because whenever my kids hint at sympathy for the animal we’re eating my heart skips a beat and I think ‘please don’t go vegetarian on me’. Let alone vegan. I admire those who have the courage of their convictions, but what a logistical nightmare for me to feed both camps. But you see, your muffins would make it ok.
Ruby- Thank you sooo very much. It always makes me sooooo happy when you stop by! PS. I’m praying your kiddos don’t go vegan!
Those mini muffins are so adorable! And how I love your hairdo
)
Angie- Thank you, thank you and more thank youssssssss!
Just in time for the holidays – sweet Jenny! Have a vegan or two in my circle and never an idea what to whip up for them, so big thanks.
And your wheels are hot!
How do you coordinate everything so well? It’s a gift. Just as these will be for my vegan friends this christmas! Can’t wait to see ya! xo
I am having trouble wrapping my brain around this one. Could be your gorg hairdoo is distracting me. GREG
Oh gosh, those look great (as does your beehive daaahling, how do you keep it so well manicured?). I am all for anything peanut butter!

Heavenly Housewife- Me and the beehive thank YOU!!
Jen, Jen, Jen!! Your recipes, your beehive, your SHOES dahling…….. they never disappoint! You actually make me want to kiss a girl, and of course, I want one of those wicked muffins. Vegan? No way!
Denise- Sooooo great hearing from you!! You always make me swoon and blush and then some. Kisses!!!
mmmh.. i’m vegan and love banana bread and peanut butter cups so, i’ll definitely give these a whirl (; thanks for sharing! *tiffany*
Just wanted to say that I made these and took them to work where a co-worker dubbed them Elvis muffins.
Eliot- Thank you sooo much again for taking your precious time to stop by again. I love the name Elvis Muffins. Hope they were deeeelish!!
Absolutely love the photos, and the muffins look delish, and seriously, we all have brown polka dots on our bananas and need to know what to do! I’ve been cooking more than usual lately, and am inspired by these muffins! Can’t wait to get my KitchenAid mixer from PDX and start bakin’!
