Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Good morning friends! Today, I am so excited to share my delicious peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins recipe with all of you. While I do have a few banana muffin recipes on the blog already, I don’t think I have a peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffin flavor yet. I made these muffins last week and they were so good that I decided to make them again this week. So, I figured I should share this recipe on the blog so all of you can enjoy them too!
These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast or grab-and-go snack! I think you guys are really going to enjoy them :). Now, let’s take a look at some quick things to note for this recipe. Then, we will dive into the list of ingredients you will need to make these peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Making chocolate chip banana muffins is actually much easier than you might think. With this recipe specifically, I use very simple ingredients to make delicious muffins that are oat based, vegan, and gluten free friendly. With just a few simple swaps, you can easily make vegan muffins that are still super moist, fluffy, and delicious.
These peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins are packed with flavor and sweetness. I used oat flour for the dry base, nut milk for creaminess, peanut butter for richness, and a combination of baking powder and baking soda as the key leavening agents. In addition to that, the mashed bananas add a ton of sweetness and moisture to the mufins. The other add-ins, like coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, and chocolate chips, add even more sweetness to the muffins.
Now that we have discussed a few things to note for this recipe, let’s dive into the list of ingredients you will need to make this peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins recipe a smashing success!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins – Ingredients
- Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – The old fashioned rolled oats will be blended to form a fine oat flour. The oat flour serves as the key dry base ingredient for these delicious vegan muffins.
- Coconut Sugar – The coconut sugar adds some extra sweetness and flavor to these muffins. It is one of my favorite sweeteners to use in vegan baked goods.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder acts as a key leavening agent for this recipe.
- Baking Soda – The baking soda is another important leavening agent used in this recipe to help the muffins come out lighter and fluffier.
- Overripe Bananas – The overripe bananas add a ton of sweetness, moisture, and flavor to this banana muffins recipe. You will want to thoroughly mash them before adding them to your muffin batter.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk adds moisture and creaminess to these vegan peanut butter chocolate chip banana muffins. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use whichever kind you prefer or have on hand.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter adds richness, moisture, and a ton of flavor to these muffins. I used a natural one so that the peanut butter would be extra drizzly and combine more easily with the other batter ingredients.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup adds a ton of sweetness and some moisture to these delicious peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins.
- Vegan Chocolate Chips – The chocolate chips will be added on top of the muffins before you pop them in the oven to bake. You can also stir some into the muffin batter itself for even more chocolate flavor and sweetness. You can use whichever kind of chocolate chips you prefer. I’ve used both semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips for this recipe, and the muffins turn out absolutely incredible. If you want your muffins extra sweet, I would recommend the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
