Loaded with rich peanut butter and banana flavor and studded with chocolate in every bite!! This FAST and EASY muffin recipe is one bowl, no mixer, and perfect for those ripe bananas you have!!
¾cupmashed ripe bananasabout 2 medium ripe bananas
¾cupcreamy peanut buttersuch as Jif or Skippy*
2large eggs
2tablespoonsgranulated sugar
2tablespoonshoney
1cupall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsaltor to taste
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips**divided
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I don’t prefer the cosmetic look of muffin liners). Note - This recipe makes 9 large (but not jumbo) muffins in the muffin pan I am using; if you are okay with skimpier muffins you could probably stretch the batter to yield 11 or 12.
To a large bowl add the bananas and mash them with a fork.
Add the peanut butter, eggs, sugar, honey, and whisk to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and stir until just combined.
Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and fold them gently into the batter.
Turn the batter out into the prepared muffin pan (I used 9 wells), filling each well solidly 3/4-full for nice dome-shaped muffins.
Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.
Bake for approximately 15 to 18 minutes, or until muffins are domed, set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing.
Notes
*I have only made this recipe with conventional processed peanut butter, like classic Jif or Skippy. I don't know how the recipe will work if you use a natural-style peanut butter (the kind that separates) or any of the newer types of peanut butters called "Jif Naturals" or similarly labeled peanut butters. **Mini chocolate chips may be substituted for regular-sized chocolate chips if you have them on hand.Storage: Muffins will keep airtight on the counter for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. I don't like to refrigerate muffins because I think it dries them out.
