Directions
Gently heat your oven to 400 degrees F and give your muffin tin a quick spray with cooking spray. In a blender, toss in the peanut butter, banana, honey, egg white, almond extract, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Once that’s done, fold the chocolate chips into the batter with a wooden spoon. Scoop the batter into your muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Pop them in the oven and bake for around 9 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when you test the center. Let the muffins sit in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Variations
Serve these muffins warm with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They also pair well with fresh fruit or a smear of extra peanut butter for a satisfying snack. Perfect for a quick breakfast on busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Storage Tips
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to three months. Reheat gently before serving to enjoy that fresh-baked taste.
