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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the muffins evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Grease a regular-sized muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking, then set it aside.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place ripe bananas, large eggs, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, and baking soda into a blender.
- Blend Batter: Blend all ingredients on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Transfer the batter into a bowl and gently fold the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter by hand, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture in the muffins.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
- Do not overmix the batter once the chocolate chips are added to maintain a tender texture.
