Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, mashed banana, applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and oil until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the all purpose flour, oats, baking soda, and salt, and toss them gently together with a fork before incorporating them into the wet mixture.
  • Using a silicone spatula, mix everything together until no streaks of flour remain. Don't over-mix but be sure all the flour is incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full or more. This is a thick batter, so they shouldn't overflow.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) until the muffins lose their shine on top and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Let them cool in the tins for several minutes before removing them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage Instructions

Store these muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer Instructions

Freeze these muffins in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

No-Fail Tips

Alternatively, add 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup rolled oats with muffins that have more fibre but a rougher, more hearty texture.
Feel free to add up to 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, raisins or chocolate chips to the batter, as desired.
