Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Muffins

These chickpea peanut butter muffins are naturally sweetened with maple syrup and banana, and can be made all in one bowl! You would never believe that a whole can of chickpeas replaces the flour in this recipe, making them packed with protein and a perfect breakfast or snack for back to school!

Muffin adaptations:

School-safe: To make these muffins nut-free swap peanut butter for Wow Butter. You can use any kind of nut or seed butter, but we find peanut butter or Wow Butter gives the best flavour.

Banana: Add a banana flavour by reducing the maple syrup to 1/3 cup and adding in a mashed banana, making them even more fibre-filled!

Egg-Free: You can sub 3 eggs with 9 Tbsp aquafaba (liquid from the can of chickpeas), if you make this adaptation, add about 1/2 cup whole wheat flour to balance out the liquid. Note this will make the muffins significantly more dense.

Mix-ins: Add in any nuts or dried fruit to add your own twist to the muffins
