Sugar-Free Sea Salt Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Quick Muffins [Healthy Main Dish]

This is from my 'if it doesn't taste good, you can punish me' series! Here’s the story: I had a jar of chunky peanut butter at home that urgently needed to be used up (actually, it’s because not many people at home eat peanut butter, and it's hard to go through a big jar). So, I made this sugar-free, slightly salty stuffed muffin. It's absolutely aromatic! Following my coconut-banana muffins, this is another quick, delicious main bread recipe! You don't even need yogurt or milk to make it. With added oatmeal, it makes the muffins more filling, helping to stave off hunger longer, giving it a dense texture while the banana filling remains super soft and tender! Chewing on those crunchy peanut bits brings an instant burst of joy ~ Plus, the sweet and salty combo! The perfect soft-and-firm texture mix! Aromatic! Aromatic!! Aromatic!!! Delicious! Delicious!! Delicious!!! Great hot or cold! Even taken out of the freezer and thawed a bit, it still tastes amazing! Eating the frozen banana inside feels as satisfying as eating ice cream!

Cut the banana for stuffing into 1-1.5cm thick pieces. Spread 1-1.5g of sea salt on a cutting board and roll the banana cuts in the salt to lightly coat both sides (don’t overdo the salt).

Cooking Tips

I used a sugar-free, salt-free, chunky peanut butter with a blue lid called Peanut Butter, which is said to be the tastiest peanut butter. I can’t eat too much of it plain, as peanut butter can get overwhelming! So, this quick recipe is perfect!
