Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk (or almond milk)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: peanut butter, mashed bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
If desired, fold in any toppings such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
