Today is the LAST day to enter my Giveaway!!
Wow, the name for these muffins is a mouthful! That is ok though, they are really good! Chocolate Chip Muffins are definitely a favorite in this house. But I always have over ripe bananas sitting around, begging to be turned into something delicious. So I decided to combine few of my favorite things and make these little guys. They were a definite hit! In fact, my 6 year old just had them again for breakfast this morning.
I was surprised last time I posted a muffin recipe the comments I got from people who didn’t realize you could freeze muffins! I do it ALL the time! We are a family of 3, and 1 of us isn’t a huge muffin eater. So 12 muffins is more than we need for sure. So as soon as my son and I are done with breakfast, the rest of the muffins go in a freezer storage bag, and into the freezer. Then whenever we want muffins, we just take one out, and microwave it for about 30 seconds. They taste pretty darn close to fresh muffins, and then you can have them any time! Perfect for a busy family with lots going on in the morning, or an after school snack. Plus, then I don’t have to feel guilty for trying new muffins recipes all the time. I have yet to find a muffin that doesn’t free well, and trust me I have tried a lot of muffins! I just counted and this makes muffin recipe #18 for the blog! Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed.

These are absolutely mouthwatering! What goes better together than peanut butter, banana, and chocolate??
You should be VERY proud at that muffin count! I for one appreciate your creations, especially since they can be frozen. I’m always pulling some out for Dudette’s breakfast since she usually eats on the fly on school days. These look fantastic and will join the other yummies we have stored away. Many thanks.
I was planning to make banana chocolate chip muffins this week! I love the addition of peanut butter. i love muffins and am going to check out the other 17 muffin recipes you have! i bet they are all fantastic.
The combination of banana, peanut butter and chocolate is not featured enough in my kitchen. Love it!
An unbeatable combination. Love this!
Oh man – I’d already kill for banana chocolate chip muffins alone, but with peanut butter? My soul and first-born are yours.
These look amazing. I go on muffin kicks where I want like 6 different muffins at once, so one day I will make all the muffins and freeze them so I can have them all (over the course of a week or so). Then, after that I am pretty done with muffins for a while. I love how easy they are to freeze and serve.
I wish I had over ripe bananas in my house. Those are just how my husband likes them. I have to hide some to ever have enough for baking. I just made something similar last week but no peanut butter. Funny since I eat them by spreading peanut butter on top.
Mmm this sounds like an amazing breakfast! I love the flavor combos w/ peanut butter & banana yum! Seriously, never thought of freezing muffins but it’s totally going to happen now.
You always have the most delicious looking recipes! I want one of these now…I can’t wait for breakfast!
I also freeze baked goods all the time and its such a time saver. Plus, it keeps us from gobbling everything up the same day its made.
What a great looking muffin! Looks delicious!
You must be reading my mind because I have been thinking about making these muffins for a week or so. Love this! I’m not sure these would make it to the freezer in my house! Great recipe.
If there is peanut butter and chocolate involved.. I am so making it. These muffins just look so scrumptious and sinful all at the same time. Yummy
For sure be proud of the 18 muffin recipes!
Okay now this is my favorite combo all in one cute muffin!! Yes please!! I have an award for you at my blog… hope you enjoy.
Ok… peanut butter, banana and chocolate!? you’ve convinced me! I love the sound of it… Not sure how many would be left over to freeze!
Thanks for sharing, Erin! 
These muffins contain three of my favorite things! Can you please send a basket of them my way?!
I will definitely be making these for breakfast! Yum!
—OOOooo, those look DeeeLiSH. Xx
Mmm, this would definitely be a nice alternative to my half a breakfast sandwich of bananas and peanut butter I eat in the mornings sometime. But really, you can’t go wrong with chocolate in the morning!
These look delicious – I’ll definitely be trying them! I love muffins and love how easy they are to freeze…they’re pretty much my breakfast every morning, so I’m always looking for new versions, I love that these have pb in them.
This looks awesome!! You already know how I feel about chocolate and peanut butter – add some bananas in the mix and I’m in heaven!
Erin! These look so good! My girls would adore these muffins! I totally forget to enter your giveaway, is it still going on??
I am picking a winner at noon today – so you can enter until then!
Oh no! I just saw this message
Next one!
These sound great! Do you think white whole wheat flour would work?
I am sure it would work great!
I just made the batter and am baking these right now!
I only made 1/2 the recipe, and, apparently, you can’t split an egg in 2 equally so I made 1/2 a recipe for 1 flax egg. The batter tastes delicious! Haha ^^
Love how the recipe only contains 1/3 cup sugar, whereas others can contain up to 1-1/2 cups!!

I was wondering if you can use a choc chip muffin mix (that you just add milk) and add the banana and peanut butter to it. I am not a make from scratch baker, and not enough time and found these “add milk” to be quick, easy, and moist. I have mixed double choc with choc chip and wow were they good.
Anyway, let me know if you think it would work…
Thank you!
I think it would work. I haven’t used a mix in a while, but it is definitely worth a try. Let me know how it goes!
Would it be possible to use rolled oats instead of quick cooking oats? :O
Yes, the texture might just be a little different. Worst case you could grind up the rolled oats to make them smaller, like the quick cooking oat. Hope you enjoy!
