Incredibly moist and delicious Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins packed with peanut butter flavor and sweet morsels of chocolate. For mornings when you just need a little chocolate.
We interrupt the pumpkin and apple programming to bring you some CHOCOLATE!
Ohmgosh I think I may be burnt out on pumpkin! No, wait. False alarm. I still want more pumpkin and I think it’s gonna need to happen soon…
Today, however, it’s all about my all-time favorite, can’t get enough of it, want to marry it, peanut butter and chocolate combo. Life just doesn’t get any better. Unless, of course, it’s pb and chocolate for breakfast.
True story. I made these muffins last week to try to get a little bit of a jump start on my upcoming trip to Virginia (going to a turkey farm people!)
While I was in my room trying to figure out what shoes/boots were appropriate to wear to a walnut orchard for my Diamond trip on Friday (more on that later), the timer for the oven went off and I totally didn’t hear it. I walked in a few minutes later and was super bummed to see some pretty brown muffins. And not the pretty brown we all know and love.
I let them cool for a few seconds before giving one a try. Despite being over-baked, it was amazingly delicious! So peanutty and fabulous…I had to make another batch! Fortunately I had jut enough ingredients to get another batch in the oven and this one turned out beautifully.
These muffins are fairly dense just like a traditional banana bread but just smack of peanut butter flavor. Studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, you get the perfect amount of chocolate and peanut butter flavor in every bite.
Now you’d think we’d have tons leftover seeing as how I made two batches of these muffins. Nope. Gone in the blink of an eye. They seemed to become everyone’s favorite breakfast as well as the snack of choice for after school and late night. Can’t say that I blame them.
The best way, and dare I say the only way to enjoy these muffins is with a big, cold glass of milk. Perfection.

OMG!!! These muffins are absolutely awesome! I love the peanut butter and banana together! I made a triple batch and got 5 dozen, that way I can send some home with my kids and still have plenty for my husband and my youngest and myself. I will be writing this recipe on an index card and placing on my recipe box. Anytime I have ripe bananas this will be what I do with them!!
Mare says
These were great, Trish! I have a bunch of bananas I need to use, so I tried these muffins. Now I’m going to make more and freeze them. I don’t keep peanut butter chips on hand, so I used all chocolate chips.

All chocolate works too! So glad you gave them a try!
Sharon says
I just came across this recipe last week. I made them, and o.m.g. I have NEVER made/loved/eaten a muffin this good. So, so moist, almost like a dense cake! Thank you!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Aren’t they so yummy?!? I was literally just telling my son that we have ripe bananas and should make muffins lol! I think these need to happen today ?
Brandy says
These muffins are fantastic!!!
Frankie says
Delicious! Everybody raved about the flavor and how perfectly these muffins looked. I thought they were a little better still slightly warm from the oven, but that didn’t stop us from gobbling them up the next day, too!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Fresh from the oven they ARE irresistible! Thanks so much Frankie!
Gary Burcalow says

TRISH! These muffins are BOMB! Would these freeze well? I am about to leave town, but don’t want to give these bad boys away. Call me selfish, I cant deny that!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
They freeze great Alyce – so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Diane Watson says
I have been in a serious muffin mood. It’s just been beyond cold…and snowy. It’s been either hauling endless loads and load of fire wood or getting on the 4 wheeler and plowing until my face is frozen. I needed some cheering up. So, I collected a good handful of various muffin recipes off the internet to try out. I really did not care for the first one, the second one was…okay, and this recipe is the third I’ve tried. THIS one is a KEEPER! The other two I will never make again, these, I absolutely would! In fact, I’m glad I still have more bananas and enough peanut chips to do this again. I might even be willing to share some. 🙂 Thank you for a great recipe.
Adina says

Lauren says
Delish and super easy! As good as a cupcake! Will make again!! 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yay! Success 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Lauren!
Jenn says
Great recipe. I make this recipe in 2 loaf pans, bake for about 30 – 40 minutes. Irresistible for sure. Our new standby for overripe bananas.
Carolyn says
I just made these. Popped one in my mouth fresh out of the oven and OMG… simply heaven!! I made one batch of 24 mini muffins.. baked 15 minutes and they came out perfect. Second batch of regular sized (able to get 9 out of remaining batter) in oven now!
chellie says
I made these yesterday and they are stupendous! Moistest muffin ever!
Ashlee says
I didn’t see a review from anyone else who made these, so I thought I would comment. I made them last night. They are very, very good. The author was right when she said they are dense like a banana bread. Two thumbs up!
