Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple
  • 1/2 cup almond butter the drizzly kind
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 5 tbsp peanut powder think PB2
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips I like Hu Kitchen's Gems

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Dice up the apple. Using either a microwave or the stovetop, heat it up until it's soft. This is about 3 minutes in the microwave or 4-5 minutes on the stovetop on medium high heat (if using the stove, add 1 tbsp of water to help steam the apple pieces a bit and prevent sticking).
  • In a small blender, combine the apple, almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, baking soda, salt and peanut powder. Blend until a smooth batter forms.
  • Grease a mini muffin tin. Pour the batter about 3/4 the way up each muffin slot. Then insert 1-2 chocolate chips in the middle of each muffin. Use a toothpick to gently press the chocolate chips down into the middle of the muffin. You can tap the baking sheet on the counter to help them sink even more (I didn't do this - whoops!)
  • Bake at 350F for 16-18 minutes. Remove and let cool before serving!
