Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium-sized ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 1 cup self-rising flour

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners or non-stick spray
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 7 muffin cups with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
  2. Mash bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
  3. Add eggs and peanut butter. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in self-rising flour. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.
  5. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool muffins in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To make self-rising flour: combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
Optional add-ins: cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Vegan tip: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Ripen bananas quickly by baking them (peels on) at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes.
