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.)

I’m allergic to honey so could I sub maple syrup for the honey or would that mess them up?
Hi Kim! Yes, you can definitely use maple syrup instead of honey. Hope you enjoy the recipe. -Bren
I used to subscribe to Country Cooking Magazine (out of print now) and kept the issue on muffins for years. Not only did it have delicious recipes for muffins, but after making so many, I discovered the proportions of dry to wet ingredients and now make muffins out of just about anything edible. This chocolate/peanut butter recipe sounds wonderful. Two of my favorite flavors in one of my favorite foods—yay muffins!
Hope you enjoy them, Suzi!
If I have oat flour instead of oatmeal, how much would you suggest I use?
It takes about 1 1/3 cups oats to make 1 cup oat flour, so I would start with about 2 1/4 cups of oat flour then see if you need more.
I made these tonight. I used mini-muffin pan (until I ran out of papers) — so made 44 mini muffins and 12 regular size muffins.
The mini muffins took about 15 minutes. The regular sized ones were ready in about 25 minutes. I sampled two mini muffins (of course). It will take my palate a while to get used to the not-so-sweet taste, but the flavor was good. I don’t have a blender, so used my stand mixer / whisk and found that worked fine. Next time I think I want to mix the chocolate chips in with the batter. I tried putting several in the bottom of the cup, before I poured in the batter. I liked that chocolate -chip taste.
Thanks for commenting Judith. You should try my original Healthy Chocolate Oatmeal Muffins to get the extra chocolate flavor you enjoy!
These are sooooo good, perfect for my breakfast sweet tooth! I am pregnant and I love knowing that I am eating something nutritious for my baby and me. I was wondering though do you have any estimation on the calories that are in them? Just trying to keep track and that would be very helpful. Thanks!!
Faith, I’m so glad you enjoyed the muffins! I just added nutrition information after the recipe, they are about 215 calories per muffin (if you make 14 muffins).
