Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with parchment paper cups to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Then add the eggs, creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and fully blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently fold the batter together using a spatula until no streaks of flour are visible. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each to the top as they will rise during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins stay tender and fluffy.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweet note.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Make sure peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
