cooking spray ½ cup peanut butter 1 very ripe banana 3 tablespoons honey 1 egg white 1 tablespoon almond extract ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 pinch sea salt ½ cup mini chocolate chips

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Prepare and Bake Muffins

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. In a blender, combine the peanut butter, banana, honey, egg white, almond extract, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand with a wooden spoon so they’re evenly distributed. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Pop the tin in the oven and bake for around 9 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh to help the muffins rise properly.
- Do not overmix the batter; gently fold in the ingredients to keep the muffins tender.
