Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a regular size muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking and set it aside.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the peeled bananas, eggs, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, and baking soda into a blender.
- Blend Batter: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them without breaking.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the greased muffin pan cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set and makes them easier to remove.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with an equal amount of maple syrup for a vegan variation.
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- If you prefer nut-free, swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use allergy-friendly chocolate chips.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freezing the muffins is possible for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
