Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Chocolate chips, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350º F and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the bananas, eggs, creamy peanut butter, old fashioned oats, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is incorporated evenly.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin for added sweetness and texture.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version (note: eggs would need replacement for full vegan adaptation).
- For a nuttier flavor, try crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
- Make sure not to overfill muffin cups to prevent overflow during baking.
- Allow muffins to cool before removing from the tin to avoid breaking.
