Instructions

- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and milk of choice until smooth.
- Next stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Evenly divide batter into muffin liners.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer muffins to wire rack to cool and enjoy!
Notes
If you are using unsalted peanut butter, you can make the recipe as is. No need to add more salt. For a peanut-free version, consider using almond butter or cashew butter.
