Peanut Butter Banana Chip Muffins

I often have extra bananas laying around since Mr. PS is the only faithful banana eater in the house and he only eats breakfast at home on the weekends.  I love to bake with them, even if I only have one, they make a great replacement for butter or oil in recipes!

I happened to have three very ripe bananas so I decided to whip up some muffins that could work for breakfast, snack time or even for dessert!

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas (mashed or pureed)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (I use Teddie unsalted)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup agave
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg or 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 2 muffin tins (makes 12 muffins or 24 mini muffins).

2.  In a large bowl combine bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, agave, vanilla and egg.

3.  Slowly mix in flour, baking soda and baking powder into wet ingredients.

4.  Fold in chocolate chips.

5.  Fill muffin tins and bake 18-20 minutes for mini muffins or 22-24 minutes for regular muffins.

These are so good, enjoy!
