Why Make These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins
These peanut butter banana muffins are simple to make, they are full of delicious banana and peanut butter flavors with little mini chocolate chips and crushed walnuts. They have a nice texture to them and are made dairy free, and without oil! These muffins are a crowd pleaser. My family loves them and they always disappear fast at brunch parties.
Ingredients Needed
These peanut butter banana muffins require only a few ingredients and there is no oil needed for this recipe. The banana and peanut butter take the place of the oil.
Peanut Butter. This is a main ingredient and takes the place of oil along with the bananas. You can also use almond butter.
Bananas. A main ingredient. You will need one cup. About 3 medium or 2 large bananas.
Eggs. 2 eggs are needed.
All Purpose Flour. Or GF all purpose.
Almond Milk. Or any nut milk of choice.
Vanilla.
Sugar.
Baking Powder. Be sure it is fresh, this will effect all baked goods if not!
Chocolate Chips. I used mini but you can use any chocolate chip of choice.
Walnuts. Optional but perfect for some texture.
How To Make This Recipe
Step one. Set oven to 350º Mash your ripe bananas in a large bowl. Be sure there are no big chunks. Next add the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, almond milk and mix together with a spatula. We do not want to over mix the batter.
Step two. Mix together all the rest of the dry ingredients. Flour, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips and walnuts. Use a whisk if you can, this always help mix things best.
Step three. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula so you don’t over mix the batter. The batter should be similar to a thick pancake batter in texture. Next line a muffin tin with paper liners. Add the batter, filling the cups to about 3/4 of the way full. I like to sprinkle a few more chocolate chips over the top for garnish. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poking the center of the muffin.
Step four. Let the muffins rest for a few minutes and cool before enjoying.
