Categories     Bread, Rolls, Muffins & Breakfast

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium ripe bananas)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (such as Jif or Skippy)*
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips**, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Spray Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I don't prefer the cosmetic look of muffin liners). Note - This recipe makes 9 large (but not jumbo) muffins in the muffin pan I am using; if you are okay with skimpier muffins you could probably stretch the batter to yield 11 or 12.
  • To a large bowl add the bananas and mash them with a fork.
  • Add the peanut butter, eggs, sugar, honey, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and stir until just combined.
  • Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and fold them gently into the batter.
  • Turn the batter out into the prepared muffin pan (I used 9 wells), filling each well solidly 3/4-full for nice dome-shaped muffins.
  • Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.
  • Bake for approximately 15 to 18 minutes, or until muffins are domed, set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Muffins will keep airtight on the counter for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. I don't like to refrigerate muffins because I think it dries them out.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.

Conclusion

These Banana Peanut Butter Chip Muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
