Perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or even a healthy dessert, this recipe combines simple, wholesome ingredients to create a protein-packed treat. The use of bananas and peanut butter not only adds natural sweetness but also ensures a moist and fluffy texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
- Stir until well combined and smooth.
4. Add Baking Soda:
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to ensure the baking soda is evenly incorporated.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- You should have enough batter for approximately 12 muffins.
6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
7. Cool:
- Remove the muffins from the oven.
- Allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Enjoy your muffins warm or at room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

- Ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and easier mashing.

- If you prefer chunkier peanut butter, it will add a bit of texture to the muffins.

- To make these muffins gluten-free, double-check that your baking soda is gluten-free.

- Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.

- You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
