Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas (ripe)
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently stir in the dark chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or up to a week in the refrigerator.
