Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chopped chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter until well combined.
  • Add the oil, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, chocolate chips, and chopped chocolate. Gently mix with a spatula until fully combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups all the way to the top to create a high muffin top that slightly overflows when baked.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.

Notes

Oil Substitutes: You can replace coconut oil with vegetable oil, canola oil, or melted butter for a richer flavor.
Sweetener Options: Swap white sugar with honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar for a natural alternative. Reduce slightly if using liquid sweeteners.
Flour Alternatives: Use whole wheat flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make them gluten-free.
Dairy-Free Version: Replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or unsweetened applesauce for a dairy-free option.
Nut-Free Option: If avoiding peanuts, use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
