Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins
Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins – This post wins the award for the longest title ever! I know I say this about almost everything, but these are my new favorite muffins, hands down.
I love peanut butter
I love bananas
I LOVE chocolate chips
I love oatmeal
It’s just meant to be.
Actually, these are mini muffins. Whenever I am faced with the choice between the regular sized muffin pan or the mini sized pan, I always pick the mini pan. Would do you like best?
Also, I hardly ever use muffin liners. Are those a thing of the past or am I the only one who doesn’t use them?
With fall right around the corner, I’ve been eyeing some projects I want to try: cheesecloth floating ghosts, homemade caramel apples, a ruffled felt wreath, and cinnamon stick or twig wrapped candles.
And I’ve already been churning out the pumpkin baked goods, so stock up on canned pumpkin because I’ll be sharing those soon!
You could easily swap out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, dark chocolate chips, or wait for it.. even mini reese’s pieces.
I used mini chocolate chips for my mini muffins and if Ryan were writing he would say it’s because I love everything super tiny, just like me because I am only 5’2″
Either way you make these, they are going to be delicious.
Do you use old fashioned oatmeal or quick?
Phyllis@grandparentsplus.com
Hi Phyllis, great question – I used steel oats, so not quick cooking, but I don’t think it would make a big difference if you used quick cooking. It just depends if you like the taste and texture of hearty oats, then use old fashioned or steel oats.
These look delicious! I might have to try these!
These look great Beth!!
These look great! I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas that my little ones will love to eat and my husband will take to work. These muffins would meet both criteria! Thanks for sharing. Pinning it!
Oh my gosh, these look so amazing. It’s a mix of a bunch of my favorite foods!! Definitely pinning
Thank you for sharing your recipe, I just made these. My boys are going to really enjoy them.
These are some of my favourite flavours too – especially chocolate and peanut butter together. I will definitely be making these! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Beth your recipes are amazing, these look soooo good! Thanks so much for linking up with us at the Inspiration Monday Party! xo

These muffins have everything that is tasty inside! I love the combination and they look very pretty too! :) Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday!
Yummy! I love chocolate chip muffins but always want a way to make them a little healthier. Adding oats and banana helps with this :)
Thanks so much for linking these up at the Pinworthy Projects Party!
They are so good you wouldn’t even tell they are healthier!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe at the Crystal & Co Linky Party last week. I’m sharing with my facebook following today as well as headed over to pin it right now!
Thank you Crystal!
Thank you so much for linking up last weekend at The Weekend re-Treat on The Best Blog Recipes! Wanted to stop by and Pin your post since you were a featured link this week at the party Beth!
And I LOVE your photo for these muffins. I called my hubby over and said “look at this awesome pic” that Beth posted and he was like “ok, who’s Beth again”. Boys….. If another girl were here she would understand my photo excitement, lol!

Haha, I just adore you!
Just made these and OMG, they are amazing!!! I made just as you directed and my son who claims to hate bananas ate two and wants more. THANKS for a great recipe.
Hahah, yes a victory!!
I really like how the toppings (is that what I should call them?) of your muffins turned out. They look like they are overflowing with goodness! I have yet to try oat in my muffins and you have just convinced me that the combination sound good! I do have some bananas and chocolate chips sitting on the counter, guess I will give these muffins a shot! Wish me luck! :)
Let me know how they turn out!
So glad I found this recipe! I have two mushy bananas on my counter ready to be made into muffins! I’m going to take a risk and sub out the butter for coconut oil. Fingers crossed they come out just as good as yours look. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Let us know how they turn out with the coconut oil!
Reporting back! They turned out on the dry side using coconut oil. Might give one more go using half coconut, and half applesauce, but like they say, butter is always better. Maybe this one is not meant to be messed with. : )
Ah bummer to hear they didn’t work with coconut oil. I hope you were able to salvage them for some purpose!
Love everything about your recipe ! And I also prefer tiny {mini} sweet treats :-) {pinned!]
Me too! I LOVE mini muffins Linda!
I cannot wait to make these for my parrots (leaving the chocolate chips out) for a change of their regular muffins (birdy bread) I make for them. I will add some choc chips to some for me. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Oh my gosh, how fun! I hope you and the parrots love them!
I love everything about the title and these muffins. They look so yummy. I’d love it if you linked up with our weekly link up party and shared!

Hi Krystal! I will stop by, thanks for inviting me!
I love these ingredients, Beth. I can just imagine the texture and the abundance of flavor! Pinning!
yummy these look great! Would love to have you come back over and share at my link party http://mommyondemand.com/create-bake-5/
I need a couple of my bananas to ripen asap so that I can make these! ;) They look amazing.
Thank you for sharing at Marvelous Mondays this week. Pinned & sharing!
Stick them in a brown paper bag overnight!
Hi this recipe looks yummy. Dying to try it. I noticed on your homepage that you mention you have a gluten allergy. Do you use gluten free flour with these? I’d love to try making these gluten free.
Yep I used gluten free flour. It’s a local brand that I use, but most gluten free flours can be used as a 1 for 1 substitute, so 1 cup all purpose = 1 cup gluten free.
My daughter just found out after five years she has grown out of her peanut allergy, but we have also discovered she does not like peanuts or peanut butter, but she loves chocolate /banana mini muffins. Been looking for a way to sneak the PB which she has to have now, this looks perfect! Thanks for sharing.
I definitely hope she likes them!
Hi Beth, I’m Connie I just added you in my g+ circle. These muffins look fantastic. I downloaded the recipe but I’m going to pin it as well. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!
Hi Connie! Thanks so much for doing all of that! I am heading over to see if you have a FB page!
Did not rise very well. What could have happened?
Hi Megan – oh dear. I haven’t add anyone report this problem. Did you add all the correct amount of the ingredients? Also did you bake until set?
Beth, Thanks for this awesome recipe. My teenage daughter and I just finished baking these, and they turned out perfect and so tasty!!
Sandra, wonderful! Enjoy them because they will be gone soon!
We really liked these~I was able to make 18 large muffins :) Thank you so much for the great recipe!! My daughter loved helping me on this icy, snowy day!
Oats are always a great addition to muffins! They add wonderful texture and pair so well with pb and bananas.
This looks so good! I’m with you- bananas, chocolate, oatmeal and peanut butter? what’s not to like! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I can’t wait to try it- following you on facebook and google+!

Thank YOU for coming by Sandra!
Hi Beth! Thank you for bringing your delicious muffins to Family Fun Friday! They are one of my features this week! Hope you have a wonderful week! Blessings!
These truly look incredible! any chance you have the nutrition info for them?
love the recipes and pictures!
Hi Chris, I don’t have the nutritional information, but I am sure you can find a website online to enter the information into to get that.
Beth, these were delicious! Thank you, my little four year olds really enjoyed these (I did too!). I wanted to see what they would taste like with applesauce instead of butter, and using half white whole wheat flour and half all-purpose (in place of all white flour). It created a hearty muffin, with a chewy texture. We loved your recipe, thank you so much for sharing AND for helping me to feed my family a healthy and yummy breakfast and snack.
Hello! I just made these with steel cut oats. I never baked with these oats and I love the added texture!!
I am so glad that you enjoyed them!
THESE MUFFINS ARE THE BEST! I’m not a great cook or baker but they are just as easy as they are delicious! These are my go-to muffins for my young kids. Thanks for a great recipe:) The whole family loves them!
We’ve been making these for years! Absolutely love them.
