All the good stuff
Peanut Butter, Chocolate, ripe & sweet bananas, I mean c’mon, with these ingredients anything will turn out extremely delicious.This time: Muffins
I usually make banana bread with over-ripe bananas, but this time I was fancy something more bite-sized. So the muffins are perfect. They’re kind of a chocolate banana bread, but with a creamy surprise on the inside, a good dollop of peanut butter. I think you could even add a bit of raspberry jam as well, I might try this the next time. To make them even more indulgent you can drizzle some extra peanut butter on top before serving, or some coconut cream would also go well.
No refined sugar, no eggs, no dairy and if you like – no gluten, too
These peanut butter filled chocolate banana muffins demonstrate once more that for a good cake or muffins you don’t need to use animal products like eggs or dairy. Also, no refined sugar is necessary, for these muffins I just added a bit of maple syrup for some extra sweetness. If you’re gluten sensitive then just swap the wheat flour for a gluten-free flour like for example buckwheat flour usually works well.
For breakfast, after lunch or dinner and especially in between
Your kids will love these muffins. They’re naturally sweet from the bananas and have the right amount of a little healthy fat from the peanuts to balance the sweetness. I can totally approve to eat these for breakfast. I prefer to enjoy one of these peanut butter filled chocolate banana muffins with my mid-morning coffee. This gives me the right energy to power through until lunch.
So easy to make
You only need 11 ingredients for these muffins. Ingredients you probably already have at home. This is a kids friendly recipe, so get your little ones in the kitchen and show them how to bake their own muffins. They will taste even better!
