Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins made with just 7 ingredients, all gluten-free, refined sugar-free and dairy-free.

My apologies for taking 4 years to share a chocolate peanut butter BANANA MUFFIN!

But they’re here and they are easy. They are healthy and these muffins make the perfect breakfast or snack recipe.

I actually baked this on a total whim a month ago when I went to make my Bakery-Style Banana Spice Muffins and realized I didn’t have all of the ingredients I needed to make them. This is usually how I end up creating many of my recipes actually. I go to bake one from the blog, don’t have the goods and am too lazy to get more ingredients.

I love that these healthy muffins are made with just 7 key ingredients and they have just the right ratio from moist to cake.

These muffins also combine 3 of the best flavors in the world into one recipe, so there isn’t really much not to love. We have our banana bread, peanut butter and some dark chocolate.

Plus you only get 6-7 muffins when you make this recipe, so it isn’t a large batch. Just the right amount for a couple days of snacking and eating.

What you need to bake these healthy chocolate banana muffins:

  • Mashed banana. The riper the better so they are extra sweet and moist for ya. I actually share my tip for ripening bananas quickly in my cookbook, Just the Good Stuff!
  • Pasture-raised eggs. You can also sub flax egg or chia egg if you prefer or don’t have any eggs on hand.
  • Creamy peanut butter. The creamier the better for this recipe. The kind that is extra oily and drizzly like this one.
  • Gluten-free oat flour. You can also use a spelt flour if not GF or gluten-free all purpose flour. I haven’t tested a grain-free version yet.
  • Cacao powder. To help the muffins get that chocolatey flavor. I use unsweetened cacao powder.
  • Coconut sugar. I prefer a grainy sugar option in this as opposed to maple syrup or honey.
  • Dark chocolate. The more chocolate chips the better. I love using these ones (code RACHL for free shipping!)

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins made with just 7 ingredients, all gluten-free, refined sugar-free and dairy-free.

  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 25 mins

Yield: 6-7 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs*
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (the one i use is very oily and you can use code RACHL for free shipping. if your PB is not oily – you will need to use some non-dairy milk if batter is too thick – adjust as needed!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cup gluten-free oat flour*
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate (code RACHL for free shipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with liners (or grease well)
  2. In a large bowl, mix together banana, eggs, peanut butter and vanilla extract until creamy
  3. Mix in the flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder and baking powder until smooth (if batter is too thick – almost cookie dough like then add milk in now as needed. this should be banana bread consistency)
  4. Fold in dark chocolate chips then add batter to muffin tin (I filled mine to the top)
  5. Drizzle more peanut butter on top of the muffins to get a swirl if desired then bake for about 20-25 minutes (or until fully cooked!)

Notes

*Store in airtight container for 5 days in fridge or freeze for longer

*Can sub flax egg

*Can sub spelt flour or gluten-free all purpose flour (I haven’t tested grain-free ones)
