Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Ingredients
- 4 medium over-ripe bananas, or 3-large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, at room temperature, or flax egg (see note)
- 1/3 cup almond milk, or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup plain Icelandic Provisions skyr
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1¾ cup gluten-free flour blend, or white whole wheat flour (see note)
- 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, grass-fed butter can also be used
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork and add vanilla extract, egg, milk, maple syrup, and Skyr. Mix together with a whisk, and stir in the peanut butter. Combine with a spatula until smooth and thick, and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt using a clean whisk. When mixed completely, cut in coconut oil.
- With a clean spatula, fold in the wet banana-egg mixture into the dry flour mixture. Try not to over mix the muffin batter or your muffins will have a drier texture. Mix until no flour pockets remain.
- Line a muffin tin with muffin liners. For uniform scoops, use an ice-cream scoop to spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15-16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Flax egg: 1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water mixed in a small bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.
