Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add peanut butter and milk, stirring until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop stirring when just a few streaks of flour remain visible.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips
- Use overripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins
- For extra flavor, try toasting the chocolate chips briefly before adding them to the batter
- Check muffins a few minutes early to prevent overcooking - every oven is slightly different
- Let muffins cool completely to help them set and develop their full flavor profile
- For meal prep, these muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months when stored in an airtight container
- Experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for variety
