Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

We love testing out new muffin recipes in this house. My very picky toddler loves my pumpkin banana muffins and my chocolate zucchini muffins and so I always try to keep a batch in the freezer to heat up when she wants a snack. She also loves peanut butter so I decided to try a peanut butter and banana muffin. Elvis totally knew what’s up because I’m all about the peanut butter and banana combo. For life!

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

These muffins are super moist (I know, worst word ever, but it’s really the best way to describe them)! They are full of banana and peanut butter flavors. And of course, I had to add some chocolate chips. They are optional if you are really trying to watch your sugars, but obviously, highly recommended! You can also add in chopped nuts if desired or leave the muffins plain.

I also highly recommend warming them for a few seconds in the microwave before eating. It makes the flavors stand out even more. It’s so comforting to enjoy a warm muffin on a cold morning with a cup of tea or coffee. These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast or a snack and with the chocolate chips, can also satisfy your sweet tooth without all the guilt!
