I make a batch of these for every Sunday morning and my girls/husband/youth we pick up for church never get tired of them! it took dozens of other tries of breakfast foods to land on this and I’ve doctored it to perfection! Follow along with the list...

first step!
second step!
third step!
final! mix them all together and get ready to bake!
“special” versions to switch it up!
first step!
blend these first (takes maybe 15 seconds to get blended and mixed) and then put aside in a bowl as the base of your batter.
blending these first will keep your batter from getting clumpy and will also make your clean up easier!
take about a cup of this, put it in a blender
PBfit 24oz Simply Peanut Powder, No Sugar
then take about a cup of this and put it in the blender with pb powder. I prefer to blend this so I don’t have to use any flour, and so the texture is super smooth
Nature's Path Organic Quick Cook Oatmeal 18oz
I add probably a half a cup.. could add more but we prefer the flavor with half, and we have so much protein in there already. It’s easier when it’s blended first, otherwise it can clump.
Grass Fed Whey Protein
second step!
after the first step of dry ingredients are put in a mixer bowl, do the second stage in the blender of wet ingredients. When finished, put this mixture in the mixing bowl. You can mix it but you don’t need to yet
I usually do 5 bananas, but you can do a whole batch with 3.
Put in the blender and liquify them.
The more ripe they are the better so I love to buy ahead by one week. By the time they’ve been sitting in the kitchen a week, they are perfectly browned...
Fresh Organic Bananas - 2lb - Good & Gather
adding any amount of this will massively up your protein and make your muffins super smooth texture!
I add about half of this per batch
Good Culture 2% Milkfat Simply Cottage Cheese - 16oz
this is maybe the most important ingredient!! because I don’t use any flour, I need a rising agent! put in anywhere from tsp-tbsp depending on how fluffy / high you want the rise and texture.
Baking Powder 1lb Aluminum & Corn Free
all you need is a pinch of this! you can get away with no salt but I prefer with.
Redmond Real Salt - Ancient Fine Sea Salt 16oz
third step!
after the dry first step of dry ingredients, then the first round of wet ingredients, start a new round in the blender.
I like to add 4-5 eggs to the blender with bananas and cottage cheese
Vital Farms Pasture-Raised Grade A Large Eggs - 12ct
we use this several times a week at least! it's so important to limit processed sugars and they are in EVERYTHING. I use this to sweeten treats and keep us healthy and in budget.
100% Pure Maple Syrup - 32 fl oz - Good & Gather™
all you need is a splash, but this is my secret ingredient for all baking! So yummy
Frontier Co-op Organic Vanilla Extract 4oz
this isn’t for everyone but I love a few sprinkles of this
Geo-Fresh Organic Cassia Cinnamon Powder 1.59oz
if your batter is super liquidy (over ripe bananas can do this) than add a half cup of this!
Organic Coconut Flour | Raw
another option instead of flour if you need to bulk it up or if your batter looks too liquidy
Anthony's Organic Almond Flour, 1 lb, Blanched
final! mix them all together and get ready to bake!
once you have the three blender batches in a bowl, you can hand mix them easily and then prep your muffins pan with the baking cups to pour batter in (I use a half cup measuring cup to get even amounts in each)
these have no bleach or plastics and separate really well from the muffins!
If You Care Unbleached Large Baking Cups, 60 ct
I’ve been through so many kinds and these are the best of size/flavor/healthy!
I like to spread maybe 10-12 on each muffin and then use a fork to swirl them into the batter. It helps keep the muffins from being messy (chocolate won’t get everywhere i...
Enjoy Life Semi Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips 10oz
“special” versions to switch it up!
if it’s a holiday or a birthday sometimes I like to make the muffins a little special so I’ll do “hot cocoa” muffins or “birthday” muffins!
swap this with regular pb powder for “hot cocoa” muffins!
PBfit 30oz Chocolate Peanut Butter Powder
Dutch process cocoa has the best flavor!! this has no bitterness and gives it a really nice chocolate taste. We use this for everything
NuNaturals Organic Fairtrade Cocoa Powder
for Christmas fun!
Christmas Softies Natural Sprinkles 3 OZ
fun for all different kinds of special days!! do an Easter basket with multi colored, or birthday themed with favorite colors!
Supernatural Plant-Based Food Coloring 4-Pack
seriously SO FUN!
Supernatural Rainbow Starfetti Natural Sprinkles
if kids need some extra fiber (constipation gets real very fast IYKYK) then just add a half cup of these!
