There are many ways to enjoy sweet and nutritious treats without loading processed foods, refined sugar, or unhealthy fats.
The recipe is already a winner and is made without medium flour or refined sugar. A friend at work shared it with me and soon realized it was something I would use over and over again. Especially if you can make some adjustments to make it a plant-based recipe.
These muffins can certainly be made from regular eggs, but I’ve noticed that I’m increasingly using products like Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacement. It is a powdery substance consisting of potato starch, tapioca powder, baking soda, and psyllium shell fiber. Others made of flax are on the market.

It is convenient to have. Stored in the freezer. And for one egg, it simply requires a mixture of 1 tablespoon of replacement and 2 tablespoons of water. This recipe usually requires 2 eggs, so I used 2 tablespoons of substitute and 4 tablespoons of water.
I like sweetening recipes with date syrup, but pure maple syrup also works really well if you wish. And I like to add walnuts to the chocolate chunks to recreate one of my favorite ice cream flavors, the chunky monkey.
Have a guilty muffin while nourishing your body and filling it with healthy ingredients. These are perfect for after-school treats, lunch boxes, or couples with a quick breakfast. Of course, it’s also perfect for desserts with tea or coffee.

Chunky Monkey Mini Muffin
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup of natural and creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, or date syrup
- 2 tablespoons of egg replacement, mixed per package
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chunk
- 2/3 cup of chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F. Spray non-stick cooking spray on 24 mini muffin tin cups.
In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the bananas with peanut butter, syrup, prepared egg substitutes, vanilla, and baking soda at medium speed. Mix until well mixed.
Lower the mixer and add until the chocolate pieces and walnuts are mixed.
Fill the prepared 24 muffin tin cups evenly. Bake in a preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the top turns golden and feels “hardened” to the touch. Make 2 dozen mini muffins.

Tip:
- Use a small ice cream scoop to add the flour to the muffin tin.
- If the bananas are too dark to suit your taste, peel them into a sealed container or bag, freeze and bake for up to 3 months.
