Peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins




Hi, my name is Megan Rose. I am very excited to be starting my blog, Live Healthy, Live Happy. I am currently a Dietetic Technician, Registered (one step under a Registered Dietitian), and am studying to be a RD. Lord willing, I will be done in August!! I will be posting recipes and videos of how to make healthy recipes step by step, and tips on making healthier choices in your everyday life.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are delicious and everyone who’s had one agrees! Who would know that they are good for you too? With whole wheat flour, only 1 tablespoon of canola oil, peanut butter, bananas, yogurt, and everyone’s favorite-chocolate! They're pretty simple to make, mix everything up and bake, it’s that simple. Also, at 116 calories per muffin, how can you go wrong!!? Thanks for watching, and always live healthy, live happy! :)

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup unsweetened crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  3. Whisk whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Stir mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and canola oil thoroughly in a separate bowl.
  5. Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, ~18 minutes.
  8. Enjoy!

Note: If you don’t have whole wheat flour on hand, regular white flour works fine too (I’ve tried it). :)
