Pumpkin Peanut Butter Bread / Muffins

Ingredients

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil
* 3 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 can pumpkin pie filling
* 1 cup peanut butter
* Mini-marshmallows (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.

In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and can of pumpkin pie filling. Stir in peanut butter... mix well. Once the ingredients are all incorporated, pour into a non- stick 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non- stick coat it with butter and flour. Place mini marshmallows atop muffins, or even bread (1 mallow per mini muffin), if desired.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins temperature should also be 325 degrees F., but bake for 30 minutes. For mini muffins, bake 12-15 minutes.
