Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

I call these healthy because they use honey instead of sugar.  There is only a small amount of oil in this recipe because of the peanut butter.  I used Smart Balance brand.  My son and his friend liked these.  They are mild in taste.  I recommend splitting them in half and spreading some jam in the middle.  A good breakfast muffin.
