You got your peanut butter on my chocolate
When I was a kid there were a series of silly candy commercials where one person would be wandering aroud with a jar a peaut butter as another person walked nearby with a bar of chocolate. They would predictably collide and exclaim, “You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!” and “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!”
It was fine cinema, folks!
Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins
Chocolate AND peanut butter, it’s a duo that never disappoints….
UNLESS we’re talking healthy snacks.
Enter a healthy chocolate peanut butter combo.
This recipe combine the flavors you love in a recipe that uses no flour, no refined sugar, and no added fat.
Healthy Muffin Love
I make healthy muffins in a ton of flavors (oatmeal, zucchini, chocolate, apple cinnamon, pumpkin, blueberry streusel) but the chocolate peanut butter version might be my family’s absolute favorite.
And who can blame them?!
I love the recipe because it is quick to whip up in a blender plus they freeze well and make a great, portable snack or breakfast.
Great Ingredients
The great flavor in these muffins comes from real food ingredients including bananas and oatmeal. (I love using whole food ingredients you can find in your pantry instead of mysterious gluten free powders and artificial sweeteners.)
To make the baked treats absolutely irresistible I sprinkle them with a few chocolate chips before baking. It makes them look like bakery muffins… but they are MUCH healthier!
I bake the muffins in jumbo paper liners. This allows me to fill the muffins tins extra full and still gives them extra room to rise and expand.
I hope you try this easy muffin recipe and see how simple and delicious eating healthier can be. (Tip: Check out No Flour, Sugar Free, Oil Free Healthy Oatmeal Muffins Recipe they are a delicious healthy breakfast.)

Hi! I want to try all your muffin recipes! Can the egg be substituted for flax seed egg or other egg substitute in this and all of your muffin recipes? My toddler has egg allergies 🙁
Bren
Yes, flaxseed eggs work great in this recipe! To make the flax eggs stir together 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed (flaxseed meal) with 5 tablespoons warm water in a small dish and let rest for 5 minutes to thicken. Add to recipes in place of eggs.
Anne
The muffins turned out delicious but I barely fit it all in the blender.
Kat
This is very good muffin. I didn’t expect it to taste so good. If you’re in the fence, please give this a try. It’s not too sweet so the choco chips are needed. It’s moist and “chewy” and it’s very filling too. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

What would be the bake time for mini muffins.
Bren
At 350 F, mini muffins only need from 10 to 13 minutes to bake. Check for doneness by gently pressing the tops to see if they spring back.

Can I leave out the bananas in this recipe? Will the recipe still work? Would be really interested to know if anyone has tried this.
Alternatively, us there anything I can substitute for the bananas??
Bren
You cannot leave out the bananas. You can substitute unsweetened applesauce for the banana but the recipe may be a bit less sweet since banans tend to be sweeter than applesauce.
Angela
I made these today. I added 2 scoops of vegan protein powder for extra protein. Oh wow they are so yummy!!! Best muffins ever!!
Thank you!

Would you be able to add the fiber content to your recipes?
Bren
Karen, I updated the recipe for you. These muffins have 2.9g of fiber if you make 14 muffins.
Nuria
They are amazing!! One of few healthy muffin recipes that doesn’t come out dry and dense. Baking soda can be hard to come by here, but even when I made them with only the naking soda they turned out perfectly.

Bren
Thanks, Nuria!
Christine @ Happy Veggie Kitchen
These are delicious! I made them to share with my toddler, so I actually replaced most of the honey with applesauce. I realize this will make them less sweet than the original recipe but they still tasted amazing to me! The texture is fantastic. Can’t wait to try some of your other healthy muffin recipes!

★★★★★
Bren

Peanut
What would you suggest as the cooking time and temperature if I were to bake this in a loaf pan? (I have made these as muffins and they were delicious, btw!)
★★★★
Bren
I’ve never baked it as a loaf, but a reader mentioned that she used a loaf pan rather than muffin pan to make my healthy chocolate muffins and they turned out great. She baked the load at 350, and added 10 minutes to the baking time. Let me know if you try it.
