How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is beautifully combined.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding another.
  6. Whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl.
  7. Fold in the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  8. Divide the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  9. Top each muffin with a teaspoon of peanut butter.
  10. Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
