2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mash bananas. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup.
Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Pour in almond milk and mix until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips if using.

Use maple syrup and plant-based milk to keep it vegan.
