These are so good it is hard to decide if they are a breakfast or a dessert.  Either way, I know I will be making these again when I am craving dark chocolate to kick off my day.

Ingredients:

4 ripe bananas

2 large eggs

¼ cup nut butter

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups almond flour

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 scoop powdered peanut butter

¼ cup dark cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional: peanut butter chips and/or extra dark chocolate chips to put on top of each muffin

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray muffin tins with nonstick baking spray.
2. Mix bananas, peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer.
3. Whisk flour, protein powder, powdered peanut butter, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. 
4. Fold in the dry ingredients and mix to just combine.  Scrape down the edges of the bowl.
5. Add chocolate chips and mix in.
6. Use a large cookie scooper to fill muffin tins.  Gently press 3-4 extra chocolate or peanut butter chips on top of each muffin. 
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
8. Let muffins cool in muffin tins for at least 10 minutes before removing.
9. Cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container.
10. Enjoy!
