Description
Flourless Peanut Butter Muffins are soft, rich, and easy to make with simple ingredients you may already have at home. These tender muffins are full of peanut butter flavor, naturally hearty, and perfect for breakfast, snacking, or a quick grab-and-go treat.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add the baking soda and salt, then stir until fully combined.
4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a small amount for topping if desired.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
6. Sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts and the reserved chocolate chips.
7. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool before serving.
Notes
Stir natural peanut butter very well before using so the batter stays smooth and balanced.
Let the muffins cool fully for the best texture because flourless muffins are softer right out of the oven.
Do not overbake, or the muffins can lose some of their tender texture.
