Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cup whole grain spelt flour (260 g)
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Wet Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
½ cup buttermilk , room temperature
½ cup peanut butter (140 g)
¼ cup honey (or maple syrup) (80 g)
2 large eggs , room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25 g), sifted
6 oz chocolate of choice (170 g), chopped

Instructions

Dry Ingredients

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Wet Ingredients

Place bananas into another bowl and mash them into puree. Add the rest of wet ingredients and mix everything well using a hand whisk.
Add ½ of dry ingredients and continue mixing, just don't over do it. Add the rest of dry ingredients and mix everything well. Now reserve some batter into another bowl for later.
Add cocoa powder to the rest of the batter and mix. Lastly reserve some chopped chocolate for later and add the rest in and give everything one last stir.

Assembling

Spray a 12 hole muffin pan with some oil. Divide chocolate batter evenly into the pan. Now spoon some of the reserved batter on top. Make some swirls using a knife. Lastly sprinkle the reserved chopped chocolate on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes. Run a knife all around to help loosen the muffins. Remove them from the pan and leave to cool completely on a rack. Enjoy!
Note: These are huge muffins. You can get more than 12 if you make them smaller.

How To Keep

Keep in air tight container at room temperature up to 2 days. Then I would recommend you to freeze them.
To freeze: Wrap them individually with cling film, place them in a ziploc bag and into the freezer up to 2 months.
To defrost: Thaw at room temperature. Warm in a microwave to bring it to life.
