Description

Deliciously warm, dairy-free, and gluten-free muffins that combine rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet bananas for a delightful treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Check muffins a minute or two early, as ovens can vary in temperature. For those with diabetes, consider sugar substitutes like Stevia or Monk Fruit.
