Directions: Step-by-Step
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mash Bananas & Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, mash the bananas using a fork. Add eggs, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix!
5. Add Extras
Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts if using. Reserve a few for topping.
6. Scoop & Fill
Use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill them about ¾ full.
7. Add Drizzle (Optional)
Warm 1 tbsp peanut butter slightly and drizzle over the tops of each muffin for a bakery-style look.
8. Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
