Prep: 12 minCook: 13 minTotal: 25 min
Servings: 48 mini muffins 1x

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large spotty bananas)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep your baking things: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mash your bananas and measure 1 cup.

Mashed bananas are in the center of the bowl with a silver fork in the mashed bananas and the handle leaning against the side pointing at the bottom right corner of the image. The bowl sits on a white and beige terrazzo surface.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, natural peanut butter, and your choice of sweetener (agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup). Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. Add the dry ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can pop all the fluff and result in denser muffins.

  4. Add them chippers! Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. Fill the tins: Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup with the batter, filling them about ¾ full. These muffins rise a bit, but not too much, so you can fill them nearly all the way.

  6. Bake: Place the muffin in in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. My muffins took 13 minutes but you may plus or minus a minute or two depending on your oven.
  7. Cool: Once baked, remove the mini muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
