1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium ripe bananas)

¾ cup natural creamy or crunchy drippy peanut butter (just peanuts and salt)

2 large eggs

¼ cup pure maple syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 tablespoon dairy free milk(of choice)

Dry ingredients:

1 cup gluten free oat flour* 

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (dairy free, if desired, plus 2-3 tablespoons for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line a 12-cup muffin liner with muffin liners and spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray to prevent muffins from sticking to liners.

In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and milk of choice until smooth.

Next stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Evenly divide batter into muffin liners.

Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer muffins to wire rack to cool and enjoy! 

Makes 12 muffins.

Recipe Notes

If you are using unsalted peanut butter, you can make the recipe as is. No need to add more salt.

If you're looking to make these muffins peanut free, I think they'd be perfect with a drippy almond butter or cashew butter.
