Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup natural cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup mashed banana (from 3 medium bananas)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if necessary), plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  2. Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. In another bowl mix together the bananas, honey, ¼ cup peanut butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until everything is combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon the batter into 12 paper lined muffin cups. Top each muffin with 1 tsp peanut butter (melt the peanut butter in the microwave to make it drizzle easily if necessary, some natural peanut butter is already runny so this step may not be necessary). Use a toothpick and swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate batter on each muffin. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Bake for 5 minutes at 425F. Then, leaving the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350 F. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Muffins should be stay fresh covered in the fridge for a week.
