Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Muffins recipe - flourless muffins banana, peanut butter and plenty of chocolate! No white flour, only 3 tablespoons of brown sugar - these muffins disappear in no time!
After the success of my Flourless Blender Muffins, I decided to make a chocolate version because well, let's face it - is there ever a time when we don't need more chocolate in our life? Me -->> everyday! 😀
Also, I know I have said it before, but perfectly domed muffins always make me swoon! I love this recipe as it never fails and most of all, it comes together in a blender! Throw all of the ingredients in, blend for 40 seconds, scrape, 20 seconds more and scoop into muffin pan. I always add chocolate chips sprinkled on top of each muffin. YUM!
Ingredients:
- old-fashioned oats
- cocoa powder
- peanut butter
- banana
- egg
- Greek yogurt or sour cream
- brown sugar
- vanilla extract
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate chips
Are these muffins sweet enough?
I always use very ripe bananas for this recipe because they will make the muffins sweeter. There are only 3 tablespoons of brown sugar in the mix so I'd say most of the sweetness comes from bananas. Besides, that makes this recipe a perfect idea for that bunch of bananas that no one wants to eat but are perfect for baking.
