Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup organic brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • cup bananas (about 2 medium)
  • cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1.76 ounces (50 gm.) chopped dark chocolate

Equipment

  • 1 Nonstick muffin tin
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Medium bowl
  • Whisk or hand mixer or potato masher

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F
  2. Lightly coat the inside of each muffin tin (for 12 muffins) with oil using a paper towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the plant-based milk, bananas, peanut butter, and olive oil well with a whisk. If using fresh bananas instead of defrosted frozen bananas, use a potato masher or hand mixer to incorporate them into the wet ingredients and have a smoother consistency.
  5. Add the dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and dark chocolate chunks. Stir just until the ingredients are mixed with a large spoon - don't overbeat.
  6. Scoop the mixture into the muffin tins using an ice cream scoop (a 1/3 cup scoop works well).
  7. Bake for 19 - 20 minutes or until the tops are firm and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from the oven. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.

Notes

The nutrition estimate is from Spoonacular, which is based mainly on the USDA database. Vanilla soy milk was used for plant-based milk.
The chopped dark chocolate chunks are from 2 small bars out of 5 in a 4.4 oz. package.
Add half of a teaspoon of vanilla extract if your plant-based milk isn't vanilla flavored.
I don't recommend paper muffin liners for this recipe.
