Blender Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Muffins. Everyone’s favorite easy, no guilt, healthy, and just SO DELICIOUS muffins! With over-ripe bananas, creamy salted peanut butter, whole wheat flour, and lots of chocolate chips, these are going to be on repeat. Bite into these warm muffins, with extra peanut butter and flaky salt on top – so yummy. Those melty chocolate chips entice everyone!
I don’t know if this is too basic of a recipe to be sharing, but even if it is, I absolutely love it. I’ve been making these almost weekly with our extra brown spotted bananas. Everyone really enjoys them. They’re a wonderful, wholesome, protein-packed treat!
I usually avoid sharing muffin recipes. No real reason, I just make the same ones over and over. Either blueberry, banana, or sometimes a good pumpkin muffin in the fall. Something about a muffin recipe usually bores me. Every time I contemplate sharing one I usually decide against it. But I started baking these back in December for Oslo. They ended up turning out so well and they were so easy! Everyone in the family ended up enjoying them just as much as he did!
My mom especially loves them when they’re still warm with the melty chocolate. How could you not?
I based the recipe on my go-to banana bread. My mom was looking for something sweet to give Oslo that wasn’t loaded with sugar. I immediately thought of banana bread.
Oslo loves peanut butter, so I added some to the batter, then mixed in chocolate chips. They couldn’t be easier and he loved them!
You’ll need a blender – a food processor works too.
Add all of the wet ingredients to the blender first. Start with the bananas, then peanut butter, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla. All ingredients I always have on hand.
Blend up the wet ingredients, mashing the bananas. Add the dry, just whole wheat flour (though any flour, even a gluten-free blend works), baking soda, and salt. Then blend one more time to just combine everything.
It’s fine if the batter has some lumps!
The last step is to mix in the chocolate chips.
And then bake! I love to use semi-sweet chocolate chips for these since I wanted Oslo to really enjoy them too. But a dark chocolate chunk would be even healthier and would work really nicely too.
These take about 20 minutes to bake and then you can serve them pretty much right out of the oven.
If you’re eating these warm, I highly recommend a drizzle of drippy peanut butter on top. Oh, and if it is your thing, maybe some sea salt too. Oh my goodness, so insanely yummy, but honestly, these are healthy too.
We love that!
These are also great packed up as a work snack or enjoyed as a mid-day treat. Either way, you and your family are going to love them.
I have a good feeling this is going to be a recipe we all make on repeat. Asher LOVED them! Enjoy y’all!

These muffins are delish! Great for a breakfast on the go or after school snack! My Vitamix didn’t have any problems with the batter, and I substituted honey for the syrup because I was out. A hit for the whole family!
I make these on repeat! I love them because the peanut butter adds a little protein and the maple syrup is a healthier sweetener option. I tweak the recipe slightly by using a hand mixer, as well as all purpose flour mixed with a little almond flour (to help w/ gluten sensitivity). I sprinkle the top w/ brown or turbinado sugar before baking, then flaky salt as soon as I take out of the oven.
Thank you for giving this recipe a try! So happy to hear you enjoyed it! xT
I don’t recommend doing this in a blender–too small, too compact–the dough is very very thick with only the moisture of oil and 2 eggs– I added some milk JUST to make it somewhat pourable
Thank you for letting me know!
I loved these, so did my grandkids. I will try using a food processor next time, my blender (which is a old Osterizer) didn’t mix the batter very well.
Hi there! Thank you so much for trying out the recipe! So glad you enjoyed it! xT
Hi there! I make these on repeat during the school year (we just started) except I substitute almond butter for the peanut butter because my daughter is allergic. These are a sweet treat I don’t mind the kids devouring because of the good, clean ingredients. Thank you.
Thank you, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipe! xT
Hi there! I just made these muffins, since I had so many overly ripe bananas to get rid of. I truly didn’t think they would be as amazing as they actually came out! I didn’t have maple syrup, so I used good local honey, and I substituted vegetable oil for the melted coconut oil since I was out. Everyone, please make these! Sooo delicious!
Hey Kellee! Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try! So happy to hear it was enjoyed! Have an awesome week! xT
Enjoyed this recipe!! My blender couldn’t handle the mixing once I added the flour so ended up using a spoon to stir anyways.
Thanks for the feedback!
Love these! Can you freeze them?
Totally!!
