Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 3 medium-sized overripe bananas
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup chocolate chips plus more, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners and lightly spritz the inside of the liners with nonstick spray.
  • In a blender, pulse the oats several times until they broken up into small pieces. Remove the oats from the blender.
  • Add bananas, peanut butter, eggs, syrup, vanilla, and milk to the blender and blend until combined. Add the ground oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the blender and blend briefly, until just combined (don't over mix it). Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. I stir the batter periodically as I'm adding it to the cups to be sure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed. If desired, ad a few additional chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean (melted chocolate is ok). Place the pan on a wire rack to cool, they will firm up as they cool.
