Ingredients

Dry ingredients

1 ¾ cup flour gluten free 1:1
½ cup coconut sugar organic brown
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder

Wet ingredients

3 mashed bananas large size
2 tablespoon maple syrup
½ cup naked crunch peanut butter spreadthelove
2 eggs room temperature
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
almond slivers for topping optional

Instructions

First preheat the oven to 365 ℉ degrees
Then, line a cupcake tray with muffin or cupcake liners.
Next, in a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients together and whisk to combine.
Then, in a large mixing bowl, mash bananas until almost smooth. Or, place bananas into a large measuring cup, and mash using an Avocado mash prefer to do it this way, that way I am able to be certain I have 1 ½ cups. If your bananas don’t measure 1 ½ cup slowly add more bananas until the measurement is met.
Once bananas are in the large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Using a whisk, mix until well combined.
Then, carefully pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, mix until well combined, but be careful not to over-mix. You don’t want rubbery muffins!
Using a cookie or Ice cream scoop, add batter evenly to the muffin liners.
Lastly, if using the almond slivers, sprinkle these on top of the batter at this point.
Place the muffin tray in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Muffins will have risen nicely at this time.
Place the muffin tray onto a cooling rack and allow it to cook for 15 minutes before removing it from the tray.
