Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup very ripe mashed banana ((about 2 medium))
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk ((dairy or plain unsweetened nondairy milk))
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter ((or regular butter, melted and cooled))
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour ((or buckwheat flour))
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed ((optional))
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips ((roughly chopped or use mini chips))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a standard muffin tin. Set aside.
  • Mash the banana very smooth with a potato masher or fork.
  • Add the flour, sugar, flaxseed (if using), cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir together.
  • Add the banana, eggs, milk, peanut butter, and vanilla and stir well.
  • Add the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, using about 1/4 cup batter for each. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly and the edges are golden brown.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then run a paring knife around the edges to help remove the muffins. Cool on a wire rack.
