Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Description
This recipe relies on mashed spotted bananas combined with eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and baking soda. The mixture results in a thick batter that is folded together with mini dark chocolate chips. Baking at 400°F for about 13-15 minutes yields muffins that are dense yet moist, with a soft crumb enhanced by the richness of peanut butter and the natural sweetness of banana. The chocolate chips provide bursts of melted chocolate in each bite.
These flourless muffins can be served as a quick snack or part of a casual breakfast. Because they are dense, letting them cool fully before serving helps them set. They are easy to customize with any nut butter in place of peanut butter if desired.
The notes recommend storing the cooled muffins in a container in the refrigerator to keep freshness for up to seven days. Substituting almond butter is an alternative. Cooling completely before eating improves the texture and flavor.
