BLENDER BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

These blender banana bread muffins are another recipe that have been on repeat in our house for over a year before I thought to share them with you here! I love using the blender for an easy ‘one bowl’ creation with a swift clean up and a built in spout to pour the batter into muffin tins. My muffins pictured here use date syrup rather than honey or maple syrup, which is why they have such a dark color. You can use these ingredients interchangeably based on what you have on-hand.

One specific here that I would highly recommend is the use of mini chocolate chips! Of course, you can use regular size chocolate chips or even a chopped up chocolate bar (okay, chocolate bar chunks are my second favorite!). Mini chocolate chips are so great in these blender banana bread muffins because they just sprinkle the muffins so sporadically compared to a bigger chip. You really have to use them to understand how much better they are. Just trust me!

Lately I’ve been all about using frozen bananas in my baked goods. I always have extra ripe bananas in the house that I end up freezing and I love experimenting with new uses for them aside from the typical smoothie. Typically I microwave them a bit to allow for an easy time mashing them, or in this case, blending.

Some other easy blender recipes I love include these CHOCOLATE BANANA BLENDER PANCAKES, HOMEMADE BREADCRUMBS, and CREAMY CASHEW ROASTED RED PEPPER DIP.
