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!
Here are the details – these are fast
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!

Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease 16 muffin tins.2. In a blender, combine the bananas, peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Blend to fully combine and mash the bananas. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, blend again until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. 3. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until just set. Serve with peanut butter and sea salt (if desired) on top.
They’re so good! I got distracted and ended up dumping all the ingredients in and blending together (instead of cottage cheese first etc) and they still came out great! I put the main ingredients through a nutrition app and it looks like it’s about 5g protein per muffin….and I ate 3, so I got 15g at breakfast, lol. My 4 & 2 year olds also love them.
Hey Victoria,
Wonderful!! I love to hear that you have been enjoying this recipe and appreciate your notes and feedback! xT
Made them as a bread with a few tweaks, they were great!!! 9 in bread pan, 325 degrees, 50 min, add more chocolate chips- like a cup and a half. delicious!
Thanks so much Julie!! Love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and thanks for sharing your tips:) xT
These are absolutely delicious and I love how healthy they are! Easy to make so you’ll never toss bananas again. Next time I’ll try blueberries instead of chocolate chips.
Thanks for the awesome recipe.
Hey Kimberly,
Amazing!! Love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks so much for making it and your comment! xx
These taste yummy but the I struggled with the blender – I have a vitamix and it was just easier to do in a bowl. Drizzled PB and added extra chocolate chips on top before baking which made them very cute 🙂
Hi Allie,
Thanks so much for making this recipe and sharing your feedback! Sorry to hear you had some blender issues! Glad to hear they turned out well:) xT
Love these so much! I make half the batch without chocolate chips because they’re also perfect for my 1-year-old. Definitely will be making these on repeat!
Hi Heidi,
Fantastic!!🥗🌮 I appreciate you making this recipe and your comment, so glad to hear that it turned out well for you! xx
Perfect for using up overripe bananas. Soft, slightly different texture than I normally expect out of a muffin (mine were more like sponge cake consistency) but I did need to blend the batter longer than I anticipated to fully combine everything. Very tasty, and picky family liked them too. Will make these again for sure!
Hi Ashleigh,
Amazing!! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe was tasty for you, thanks a lot for giving it a try!🥑🥝 xT
These are an easy, yummy muffin. Especially for pb and banana lovers.
Only changes I make are I just use a hand mixer, (my blender broke). First I mix up the bananas only which gets them a great consistency and then I don’t have to beat the batter as long to combine them. Only other modification is I add less chips because of personal preference. You can never go wrong with a HBH recipe!

Hi Tieghan,
I just made these today and I followed the recipe exactly, but my one turned out very dense. Are they supposed to be like that or do you know why they would? Still very yummy!
Hey Alyssa,
Thanks so much for making this recipe!! Sorry to hear they were dense, did you use the blender? Let me know how I can help! xT
