Ingredients: 2 tsp vanilla extract; ¼ tsp salt; 2 tsp baking powder; ½ cup vegetable oil; 2 large eggs; 2½ cups flour; 1 cup buttermilk; ½ cup cocoa powder; ¾ cup white sugar; 2 medium ripe bananas, well mashed; 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Sift the flour, coconut powder, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until creamy and lighter in color, about 1 minute. Add the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, mashed banana, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter until creamy and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the liquid batter in thirds until just combined. Add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and mix.
Spoon the batter equally into the muffin pan filling them to the top.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, until warmed. Stir well.
For a peanut butter swirl, spoon a little bit of warmed peanut butter on top of each muffin then use a toothpick to create swirls.
Divide the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
