This is a great recipe for anyone who is a) trying to avoid wheat and/or gluten or b) looking for an easy recipe. It comes from Tip Hero, which I found on my facebook news feed. Sometimes these recipes seem too good to be true, so I am sometimes skeptical. This one worked well, but it did not make 24 mini muffins, as it said on the recipe. It made 12, but they were delicious and my family devoured them pretty quickly. This is also a great recipe to use if you have any bananas that are getting rather ripe.
I used my ninja for this recipe, but you could use a blender or food processor as well. After preheating the oven to 400 degrees F, spray a mini-muffin tin with non stick spray. Into the ninja, blender, or food processor, add one ripe banana (peeled). Add 1 egg.
Add 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I used natural)
Add 1 Tb. pure vanilla extract
Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda and a pinch of salt
Add 3 Tb. honey
Blend until smooth
I transferred the mixture from the ninja into a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips. (You will be adding more to the top).
As mentioned above, I found that this recipe made 12 mini muffins. I like to use a mini ice cream scoop to get the batter into the pan, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips on top. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until lightly brown. You can also check to see if a toothpick inserted into the middle, comes out clean. My batch took at least 9 minutes.
As you can see, they come out looking beautiful. I let the pan cool for a bit before taking them out. I did notice that they fell a bit during the cool down.
You can see that I had some trouble getting the muffins out in tact. Obviously this did not affect the taste. I might try using muffin cups next time.
These were super easy to make and tasted delicious!

ReplyDeleteHi Laura I baked these today. I doubled the recipe and ended up with 48 tiny cupcakes! They make the smallest size muffin tin! About 2/3 of an ice cream scoop in each. I think the chips on top cause them to sink in the middle. They look cute. I put valentines candies on 1/2 mine and they sunk down in an interesting fashion. I did use cupcake liners. Maybe I'll get a picture later of them!
