Ingredients

• Peanut butter: use an all natural creamy peanut butter for the best taste and texture. Our favorite peanut butter is Member's Mark all natural no stir creamy peanut butter.
• Mashed bananas
• Honey: organic local honey will have the best flavor.
• Greek yogurt: you can replace this with plain traditional yogurt.
• Oat milk: other milks work fine too, such as almond milk, dairy milk, cashew milk and soy milk.
• Vanilla extract: try this homemade extract instead of store bought. You can also cinnamon extract for a little variation.
• Flaxseed: ground flaxseed adds more nutrients to your muffins and helps to bind them.
• Egg: to keep it egg free use a flax egg.
• Olive oil: or substitute 1 to 1 with butter.
• Whole wheat flour
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg
• Baking powder, baking soda and salt

Cooking Tips

• Once the wet ingredients are added to the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, seasonings), combine everything slowly just until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed into the wet ingredients. Only continue mixing after this point if you see more dry ingredients that need to be integrated into the batter. Over mixing muffin batter can cause dense muffins.
• Have the muffin tins lined with muffin liners and ready to be filled with batter before making the batter. You don't want the muffin batter to sit for more than a minute or so once it's been mixed. If it sits, the muffins might turn out dense.
• If you have unfilled muffin cups, fill them with a few tablespoons of water. Doing this helps the muffins rise evenly.

How To Make Peanut Butter Muffins

STEP 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.

STEP 2: In another mixing bowl mash 2 large bananas. ½ cup honey, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon flaxseed, ⅓ cup oat milk, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¾ cup peanut butter. Use a fork to mix until ingredients are combined evenly. Pour into the large mixing bowl of dry ingredients.

STEP 3: Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients using a fork until just combined, being careful not overmix. Scoop the muffin batter into lined or greased muffin tins, filling them ⅔ of the way.

STEP 4: Bake in an oven preheated to 425℉ for 5 minutes. Then turn the temperature down to 350℉ and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

STEP 5: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring the muffins to a cooling rack.
