Vegan Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins

These Vegan Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Muffins are a chocolate lovers dream!

They taste like rich, decadent mud cake and are secretly healthy-ish. My daughter called them “too good to be true muffins”. They are quick and easy to make and can be whipped up in no time.

Ingredients you need to make these Vegan Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins:

• Very ripe bananas
• All purpose flour
• Cacao powder, unsweetened 
• Coconut or light brown sugar
• Baking soda
• Peanut butter
• Almond milk
• Apple cider vinegar 
• Pinch of salt
• Coconut oil
• Maple syrup 
• Vegan dark chocolate

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to and prepare a muffins pan with paper liners and lightly grease with a little coconut oil.
2. Mix the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes. It will curdle and that is what you want to see.
3. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Sift in the flour, cacao powder, sugar and baking soda to the mashed bananas. 
4. Melt the coconut oil, peanut butter and maple syrup in the microwave and stir until smooth. Add the mixture to the bowl with the almond milk and stir until just combined. 
5. Slice the banana in 24 slices. Fill the cupcake liners ⅓ of the way and add a slice of banana and some of the chopped chocolate. Divide the chocolate in half for the filling and half for the topping.
6. Add the remaining batter and top with one banana slice and the rest of the chocolate. Bake and the let them cool down before removing from the muffin pan!

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do!
