PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

My goodness, Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins is a mouthful of words when you could just say BEST fudgy chocolate muffins instead!

I get teased by my husband all the time because I make so many cupcakes… Watermelon Cupcakes, Maple Bacon Cupcakes, Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes … well, you can see the problem here.

So to feel better about myself and not put up another cupcake post, I instead made I completely different item… I made a muffins. Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, to be exact.

Don’t judge.  It’s not a cupcake.  There is no frosting. End of story.

FUDGY CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

So what makes this simple chocolate muffin recipe so amazing?

Not only are we making chocolate banana muffins, we are adding peanut butter into the mix along with even more chocolate chips making these the perfect trifeca of moist chocolate muffin excellence.

Too much hype? Not even close!

OVER RIPE BANANAS FOR CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS?

You can use fully ripe bananas for this chocolate banana muffin recipe but overripe bananas are best.

Overripe bananas are easier to mash so that they incorporate better into the muffing batter and more starch has converted to sugar so overripe bananas are sweeter.

HOW MANY CUPS IS ONE MASHED BANANA?

It has been determined that for a cup of mashed bananas, you will need 3 overripe medium sized bananas.

To make this simple chocolate muffin recipe, preheat oven to 425 degrees and prepare muffin tins with paper liners or non-stick spray.

    Thank you they are delicious! I didn’t have any peanut butter chips and really wanted the peanut butter flavor added to these so I turned my muffins into cupcakes with a quick and easy peanut butter frosting using butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. My grand kids loved them.
    Thank you, Tricia

    1. Thanks Tricia, Great twist we will have to try that ourselves, and we are glad everyone enjoyed them.

    These muffins sound scrumptious, love the combination of chocolate, peanut, and banana. Hahaha, it’s funny how we have plans for our day and sometimes we get a totally different inspiration from what we plan. Talk about life.

    Totally different from cupcakes! 😉 but seriously, they look so irresistible! I would love to just grab one out of my screen! Saving this recipe to try in the near future!

  11. Hi, I was just wondering if you knew how well these muffins freeze? I have family coming next weekend and will be baking all week. I preferably want to make them earlier in the week if possible, then put them in the freezer till anyone wants one.

    1. Hi Lavonne… yes, these will freeze beautifully. Simply add to a plastic freezer bag, squeeze out the excess air, seal and freeze. When you are ready, let them thaw over night in the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Have fun with your family!!!
