Total Time 34 minutes mins
- 3 medium extra ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/4 cup AP flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp pea protein powder optional
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar not packed
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 10 tbsp creamy peanut butter (natural style)
Heat oven to 325 and line 12 muffin wells with liners. In a stand mixer, beat the banana, sugar and vanilla until mostly smooth. Add the butter and mix again.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.
Add the egg whites, apple sauce, and 8 tbsp of peanut butter to the stand mixer and mix again until well mixed and smooth.
Scrap the bowl and add the flour and mix on low until just barely combined. Finish mixing by hand.
Divide about 1/2 the batter among the 12 muffin wells, then add about 1/2 tsp of peanut butter to the center and top with the other 1/2 of the batter. Bake until the tops crack and are solid and a toothpick in the other 1/3 of the muffin comes out clean. About 20-25 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool on a cooling rack.
