Vegan Mocha Banana ("Wired Monkey") Blender Muffins

These healthy mocha muffins have it all: sweet banana, energizing coffee, decadent chocolate, and luscious peanut butter. Can you believe they're vegan, gluten-free, and made in just minutes right in the blender?

Ingredients

  • 2 large, very ripe bananas
  • 0.5 c plant milk of choice
  • 6 tbsp peanut butter
  • 0.25 c maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2.25 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • Generous 0.5 c dark chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and line a muffin tin with 12 liners.
  2. Measure the wet ingredients into a blender; putting the wet ingredients in first prevents the dry ingredients from clumping below the blades.
  3. Measure in the dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips.
  4. Blend everything until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  5. Add the chocolate chips to the batter and stir them in by hand.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the 12-muffin pan.
  7. Sprinkle each muffin top with a few additional chocolate chips.
  8. Bake 25-30 minutes until a cake tester just barely comes out clean. Let the muffins cool completely on a rack before removing them from the muffin tin.
  9. After cooling the muffins completely, store them in a tightly-sealed container in the fridge.
