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!

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!
