- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Chocolate chips, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray to prepare for baking.
- Add ingredients to blender: Place the bananas, eggs, peanut butter, oats, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a high-powered blender.
- Blend the batter: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Fill the muffin tin: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Add chocolate chip topping: Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top of each muffin batter portion for an extra chocolatey touch.
- Bake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick or tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for a different nutty flavor.
- For a sweeter muffin, add a little extra honey or sprinkle additional chocolate chips inside the batter.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
