Ingredients needed & substitutions

You'll only need a handful of simple ingredients to get this peanut butter muffin recipe going! For these naturally sweetened banana muffins, you'll need some almond flour, honey, bananas, and, of course, lots of peanut butter and jam! You probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already. Here is a list:

• Bananas: You will need two large over-ripe and spotty bananas, which should amount to about 1 cup when mashed. The browner the bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be.
• Peanut Butter: Use creamy all-natural peanut butter. I highly recommend using peanut butter with peanuts (and salt) as the only ingredients. You can swap this 1:1 with unsalted peanut butter and add an additional ¼ teaspoon of salt or use almond butter.
• Honey: My favorite sweetener and a great all-natural refined sugar-free option that tastes fantastic! Alternatively, you can substitute the honey or another liquid sweetener; I recommend trying maple syrup or agave syrup.
• Eggs: These healthy peanut butter jelly banana muffins call for 2 eggs, which help achieve their fluffy texture.
• Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla goes a long way in flavor!
• Almond Flour: This recipe uses almond flour for a healthy twist, making them grain-free & gluten-free. You'll need 2 cups of almond flour for this gluten-free banana muffins recipe.
• Baking Soda: Do not substitute with baking powder.
• Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon adds an incredible depth of flavor to these banana muffins.
• Raspberry Jam: Can't have pb&j muffins without the jelly! You can use any type of jam or jelly you like for this muffin recipe! Try strawberry, blueberry, or mixed berries.
