Ingredients & Substitutions

• Banana. You will need 2 can of super ripe bananas, mashed.
• Peanut butter. You will need 1 cup of smooth, peanut butter. Choose one that is made with only peanuts and salt. You can sub with almond butter. To make it nut free you can sub with tahini or sunflower seed butter, sunflower seed butter will slightly alter the flavor though.
• Eggs. 2 large eggs are used.
• Maple syrup. Maple syrup is the sweetener in this recipe. You can sub for honey.
• Baking soda. 1 tsp of baking soda is used. This acts as a leavening agent and helps make the muffins fluffy. Baking soda and baking powder are very different but if you are in a pinch, one teaspoon baking soda equals three teaspoons baking powder.
• Cinnamon. A dash of cinnamon gives a little extra coziness to the recipe.
• Chocolate chips. I love using dark chocolate chips or chocolate bar, chopped up.
• Walnuts. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
