Peanut Butter & Banana Oatmeal Muffins

We are seriously addicted to muffins at our house. Ever since I started making these, I just can't stop! I make them every weekend for the perfect on-the-go breakfast during the week. Just pop them in the microwave for a 30 seconds and they are delish!
I have also made these with almond butter instead of peanut butter and they are just as good. This is a great healthy recipe when you need a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2-3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup all natural peanut butter (you could also substitute almond butter)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with non stick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners. 
  • Place all of the ingredients, except chocolate chips, into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add in the oats one cup at a time and blend in between.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, divide the batter into each cupcake liner and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
  • Serve warm.

  1. I made these last night. The Recipe says put everything in except chocolate chips, which I did, but then says fold in the oats. Sooo I think my muffins are a little denser then normal because I blended the oats in! Also, they need some cinnamon and nutmeg...they ended up a little bland :/ Not my favorite recipe ever!

    1. The recipe says to blend everything! It makes for a smoother batter. I think cinnamon would be delish! I'll have to try that next time.

  2. Wonderful recipe! I subbed 1/2 c of the oats with flax seed, used 2 small bananas, agave nectar in place of brown sugar, and only had to bake for about 12 minutes. Delicious and so healthy :) Thank you for posting!

    1. Depending on how much filling you use for each muffin, you should be able to get about 12-15 muffins.
