Basically my favorite flavor combinations in one delicious bite!
Your day will be automatically amazing if you make these for breakfast. Guaranteed full warranty or your muffins back!! (aka I’ll eat them for you if you don’t like them). These muffins are easy to make with common pantry items. These are gluten-free (use gluten-free oats if you are allergic to gluten) and I have made a vegan option as well! To make these nut-free, use a seed butter like sunflower seed butter or tahini instead.
You can add chocolate chips or berries to the batter for more flavor - if you can't decide which to add, try both or split your batter in half and add chocolate chips to one part and berries to the other! You can wrap them in tinfoil to refrigerate or freeze for later if you have extra!
Recipe
makes 4-5 full-sized muffins
Non-Vegan Ingredients
Wet:
2 ripe bananas (mash 1.5 bananas and save 1/2 to slice for the top)
¼ cup peanut butter
2 eggs
½ tbsp honey
½ tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry:
¼ cup oats
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Add-in options:
Chocolate chips

Coconut flakes
Vegan Ingredients
Wet:
2 ripe bananas (mash 1.5 bananas and save 1/2 to slice for the top)
¼ cup peanut butter
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal mixed with 3 tbsp water, set in fridge to thicken)
½ tbsp maple syrup
½ tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry:
¼ cup oats
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Add-in options:
Chocolate chips
Berries
Coconut flakes
Mix it all together (and you know that it's the best of both worlds hehe)
Steps
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly oil a muffin tin. If making the vegan recipe, prepare the flax egg and set in the refrigerator.
2. Mix all the wet ingredients together in a bowl, then stir in the dry ingredients.
3. Pour batter into muffin tins, add fruit and chocolate chips on top if desired, and bake for about 20-25 minutes - a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the middle of the muffins.
4. Let cool and enjoy as is or with toppings! I recommend drizzling your nut or seed butter over your creation. You can sprinkle cinnamon and coconut flakes on top as well!
