I found something my kids like that is healthy. And you know what, it is super good!
These muffins are quite impressive. There isn’t any added sugar, no flour, a lot of fiber from the oats, a lot of protein from the peanut butter, and two bananas.
This muffin recipe is a perfect little addition for your kids lunch or for an after school snack.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe medium bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF then grease a muffin tin and set aside.
- In a blender, add all of the wet ingredients layering the bananas, eggs, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and almond milk.
- Next, combine the rest of the ingredients: oats, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend for about 30 seconds, or until a smooth batter forms.
- Add the chocolate chips to the blender and gently stir by hand. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, so that each well is approximately 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top, then place the muffins in the oven, and cook for 20 minutes.
