Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and rolled oats. Whisk together to ensure even mixing.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add peanut butter, honey, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture
- Don't overmix the batter - this keeps the muffins tender and light
- For extra protein, consider using natural, unsweetened peanut butter
- Room temperature eggs blend more smoothly into the wet ingredients
- Check muffins a minute early to prevent overcooking - every oven is slightly different
- Let muffins cool completely to help them set and develop a better texture
- For meal prep, these muffins freeze beautifully for up to 1 month
