Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a regular size muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the bananas, eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Blend for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Remove the batter from the blender and gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand, taking care not to overmix.
- Portion Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full or slightly more to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The tops should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean. For best texture, slightly underbake as the muffins will continue cooking in the pan while cooling.
- Cool Down: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set further, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Serving size is 1 muffin.
- To keep muffins moist, avoid overbaking as they will firm up while cooling.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
