There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh muffins baking in the oven on a Sunday morning. These peanut butter banana muffins are a favorite in my house because they are packed with protein and use simple ingredients like maple syrup instead of refined sugar.

I love to stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips when I want a little something extra sweet. They keep perfectly for a few days, so you can easily grab one on your way out the door.

🧺 Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed well
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, optional

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3
Add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine.
4
Gently fold in the gluten free flour blend until the batter is just mixed.
5
If you are using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
6
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters of the way full.
7
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

💡 Tips

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to one month and pop them in the microwave for a quick warm snack.
