INGREDIENTS

2 bananas, we like over-ripe ones

1/2 cup Peanut Butter (xylitol and birch sugar FREE)

1/3 cup honey

2 eggs

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup water

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F.  Like a muffin pan (12) with cupcake liners (we use parchment liners).  Place bananas in a bowl of stand mixer with paddle, and mix until they are smashed.  Add peanut butter, honey, eggs and oil, and cream together until smooth.  In a separate bowl, mix together flour and baking powder, and add to the wet mix.  Add water slowly and beat until smooth.

Divide batter evenly, about 3/4 fill the muffin tins. 

Bake for 22-24 minutes until the top is golden or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Transfer to cooling rack and cool at least 30 minutes before frosting.
