A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the creamy peanut butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is fully combined.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake the Muffins:

- Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months.
- Make it Vegan: To make these muffins vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2 tablespoons water per egg) and use maple syrup instead of honey.
