These gluten-free and high-protein muffin-like banana breakfast bites are a great baking option to start the day. With only a few simple ingredients, you’ll be surprised how easy these are to make. You can customize them by adding fun bits, like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.

Alternatively, they are a great snack similar to a traditional muffin. But don’t share them by calling them a muffin, as they definitely have a different texture which can be a bit disconcerting if not expected. They are quite a bit denser than a traditional muffin, which helps to fuel you on the go.

This recipe is cooked in a camp oven which encompasses a wide range of cooking equipment options including a closed grill, high-temperature smoker, and purpose build cam ovens.

Ingredients

4 large over-ripe bananas
1 1/3 cups smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon baking soda bicarb soda
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

Aquaforno Cooking Unit or barbecue
muffin tray
paper muffin liners

Directions

Preheat a camp oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the muffin trays with paper liners.
In a large bowl mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter and continue to mash with the fork as much as possible to make sure it breaks up and combines with the bananas.
Tip: Peanut butter does not like to mix with other ingredients. Make sure it combines well with the bananas before adding additional ingredients.
Add the baking soda, eggs, and vanilla, then mix well to create a well-blended mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly amongst the prepared paper-lined muffin trays. Bake in the preheated camp oven for 15 minutes or until brown.
Remove the cooked muffins from the camp oven then let rest for 5 minutes before removing from the tin and placing them on a cooling rack.
