Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins – use those over ripe bananas to make moist banana muffins with peanut butter and chocolate chips.
Wow, the name for these muffins is a mouthful! Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. Say that 5 times fast. 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 freeze well, and trust me I have tried a lot of muffins! Peanut butter and banana are a classic combination and these Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are no exeption!

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.

Kiri W. says
Oh man – I’d already kill for banana chocolate chip muffins alone, but with peanut butter? My soul and first-born are yours.
Donna @ The Slow Roasted Italian says
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.
Emily @ Life on Food says
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.
Lacy @ NYCityEats says
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. 🙂
Maggie says
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.

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.

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!
Anna @ hiddenponies says
