Ingredients for Banana Peanut Butter Chip Muffins Light

  • Granulated Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

How to Make Banana Peanut Butter Chip Muffins Light

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a large bowl or using a stand mixer, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the oil, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the Greek yogurt and chocolate chips.
  7. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 15 minutes.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
