Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup applesauce OR 1 cup mashed ripe banana bananas with brown spots are perfect
- 1/2 cup peanut butter can also substitute with any nut butter or seed butter of choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup homemade chia pudding or fruit based jam
Notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin liners and spray the inside of the liners with avocado oil spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then add in the applesauce (or banana), peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Then add in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt and combine until incorporated (you don’t want to over mix).
- Evenly divide the batter into the muffin tins.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of jam on top of each muffin and use a butter knife to gently swirl the jam into the batter, just a few times. Don’t over swirl it!
- Bake for 23-27 minutes. You know they are done when a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool for ~5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
