Units
Scale
- 3 small ripe and spotty bananas (1 cup, mashed)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup natural salted peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or paper ones. I highly recommend liners for this recipe.
- Place bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash with fork. Measure to make sure you have 1 cup. Add eggs milk, eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
- Add oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spoon mixture evenly into muffin tin, filling each to the top. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. If you try to remove muffins while they're hot, they'll fall apart. Once completely cool, store in an air-tight container on the counter for 2 days then in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
VEGAN: Use chia eggs (2 tbsp chia seeds + 6 tbsp warm water, set aside to gel for 5 minutes). Chia works better than flax here.
