Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork until they become smooth and creamy with minimal lumps.
- Add the peanut butter to the mashed bananas and mix well until completely combined and smooth.
- Crack the eggs into the banana-peanut butter mixture one at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition to ensure a uniform consistency.
- Pour in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir all ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and gently fold it in, ensuring it is evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Using a standard ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips
- Use extremely ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture
- Choose a creamy, natural peanut butter without added sugars for the best flavor
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make your muffins tough
- Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean
- Let muffins cool completely to help them set and develop a perfect texture
- For extra protein, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top before baking
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out
