Ingredients

  • Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium ripe bananas)
  • ¾ cup (192g) natural creamy or crunchy drippy peanut butter (just peanuts and salt)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup (78g) pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ tablespoon dairy free milk of choice (I like almond milk)
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 cup (92g) gluten free oat flour (you can make your own -- see the full blog psot)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (60g) mini chocolate chips (dairy free, if desired, plus 2-3 tablespoons for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line a 12-cup muffin liner with muffin liners and spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray to prevent muffins from sticking to liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and milk of choice until smooth.
  3. Next stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Evenly divide batter into muffin liners.
  4. Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer muffins to wire rack to cool and enjoy! Makes 12 muffins.

Notes

  • If you are using unsalted peanut butter, you can make the recipe as is. No need to add more salt.
  • If you're looking to make these muffins peanut free, I think they'd be perfect with a drippy almond butter or cashew butter.
