In my house you can NEVER have enough bananas.

Seriously, they are one of my most favorite foods. I eat a banana nearly every day and always have them on hand.

Once the bananas begin to go brown, let the baking begin!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

I truly think bananas and peanut butter are a match made in heaven. Add in some chocolate and I find the combination irresistible.

That magical combination of peanut butter, bananas, and chocolate are what make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins the best!

Not to mention, they have been made with no oil, no refined sugar, Greek yogurt, and whole grain flours–so these Banana Muffins are on the healthier side.

Of course you can leave the chocolate chips out for a Peanut Butter Banana Muffin–but let’s be honest, chocolate makes everything a bit better!

How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Step One: Prepare Muffin Tin

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease well or add liners to a muffin tin.

Step Two: Prepare Banana Muffin Batter

• In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana well.
• Add in yogurt, milk, eggs, honey, peanut butter and vanilla and mix well to combine.
• In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt well.
• Add in chocolate chips and toss in the flour mixture to coat.
  • This helps the chocolate chips not sink to the bottom of the banana muffins.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step Three: Bake Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

• Pour 1/4 cup muffin batter into prepared muffin pan.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Storing Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

• These banana muffins will last for 2 days at room temperature.
• Any longer than 2 days, store these banana muffins in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• You can freeze peanut butter banana muffins for up to 3 months as well.

Notes on Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

• Be sure to use ripe bananas for the sweetest muffins.
• If you do not like honey, these Banana Muffins can be made with maple syrup.
• Any style peanut butter will work for these Peanut Butter Banana Muffins. I use natural peanut butter, but shelf stable peanut butter works as well.
• Be sure to use plain Greek yogurt. Flavored or regular yogurt will change the flavor and texture of these Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins.
• I love to use whole wheat flour for these Peanut Butter Muffins, but all-purpose flour can be used in it’s place.
