Ingredients
  

  • 3 very ripe medium sized bananas
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup yoghurt
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter natural, unsweetened preferred
  • 1 cup wholewheat flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup milk non-dairy should work too
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175 C. Line 12 muffin moulds with liners. I recommend liners here rather than greasing the moulds as the muffins are soft and moist and easier to handle with liners.<br></br>
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas very well, then add the honey, yoghurt and peanut butter. Mix well to combine until smooth.<br></br>
  • Sift in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Fold gently to combine into a thick batter.<br></br>
  • Now pour in the milk and stir again till smooth. Avoid over-mixing the batter. If using the chocolate chips, stir them in now.<br></br>
  • Divide the batter equally among the moulds. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.<br></br>
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins don't rise very tall (see notes) and remain quite moist because of the bananas, so once they are cool, they are ok at room temperature for a day, after which they are best stored in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Happy baking!

Notes

*Since this is not a typical muffin batter, these muffins are not traditionally tall or fluffy. Bananas also weigh them down a bit. So if you do eat eggs, I like using one egg here in place of the milk, for a little additional 'lift'. Either way I promise they're yum!
*These are not super sweet muffins. But the riper the bananas, the more sweetness they provide, so if needed, you can reduce the honey depending on the bananas you use.
