I love desserts. There’s something just so satisfying about a good dessert, whether it be some ice cream, some cookies, or some good rich banana chocolate chip vegan muffins. This recipe for almond butter stuffed vegan chocolate chip muffins is my go-to recipe to bring to potlucks to show just how delicious vegan desserts can be.
In addition to having a mean sweet tooth, I love peanut butter. In fact, have probably eaten peanut butter in more combinations than you can fathom. Seriously challenge me.
You: Peanut butter and banana?
Me: Duh. Next.
You: Ok what about a peanut butter and strawberry sandwich?
Me: Yep, it’s a step up from bananas. Pro tip: add honey, ginger and cinnamon to it and you have one of my favorite lunches.
You: Hmm, peanut butter and carrots?
Me: That’s my go to snack!
You: No ok, now I got one. A peanut putter, pickle and lettuce sandwich?
Me: YEP, even that too (thanks Grandma, I don’t know why you made me those growing up as a kid, but it lends to my peanut butter street cred now).
Anyways, point it, I love peanut butter. I also love almond butter. And cashew butter. Just all the nut butters basically. When you pair it with chocolate, awesome. When you pair it with chocolate and bananas, even better. When you put nut butter, chocolate chips and bananas into vegan MUFFINS???
That’s what these babies are: banana chocolate chip vegan muffins STUFFED with almond butter. They are delicious and addicting.
I’m obsessed. You will be too. I mean, who doesn’t love muffins? Especially banana chocolate chip muffins stuffed with almond butter. It’s a mouthful to say, but you’re just warming your mouth up to devour these genius creations.
