Banana Peanut Butter Breakfast Muffins

Banana Peanut Butter Breakfast Muffins
Continuing with my peanut madness, I really had to bake some peanut butter muffins. When I searched online for a recipe I realized most peanut butter muffins were loaded with butter and sugar. Now, don’t get me wrong I am sure they taste great but as you know I like to bake things which are slightly healthier and low in calories so that I don’t have to think a hundred times before snacking on them.
perfect for the breakfast table
So I thought I’ll make muffins that are good enough for breakfast and tasty enough for snacking. One of my favorite ways to make muffins healthier is to use Bananas in it. Banana’s make them sweet without sugar and moist without butter. I also like using quick cooking oats as it makes the muffins fluffier and lighter and of course adds a lot of fiber. One again I have used olive oil in this and there is just 2 table spoon so fit in 12 muffins!
with oats, bananas, peanut butter, flax seeds and all whole wheat!
My muffins are vegan and low calorie. They are moist, slightly sweet and fluffy. If you want them sweeter go head and slather them with this ‘chocolate peanut butter’, jam or maple syrup.
These muffins have all ingredients to make them perfect for the breakfast table, they have oats, bananas, peanut butter, flax seeds and they are also whole wheat! Enjoy them with a tall glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for a quick weekday breakfast.

- Spoon them into greased muffins tray and top each muffin with few whole flax seeds.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree C for 20-25 minutes or till the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Enjoy them hot with a cup of coffee!
I loved these muffins. I am looking for healthy but filling foods for my baby to eat and these are perfect! I did have to modify the recipe a bit. I had to add water, my batter was way to stiff for muffin consistency. Thanks, I will be making these a lot!!
Hi,
i loved the taste..these muffins are really delicious, soft ..can i also bake them with rye flour and apple sauce/mousse as substitutes for whole-wheat flour and peanut butter ??
I desperately want this recipe, but can’t open up the link
I don’t know why but it keeps telling me “failed to open page” (when I’m not having trouble opening any other websites)– is there any way you can post the recipe directly on this page??
YAY! Thank you for posting the recipe on this page! Can’t wait to try these
Please let me know how you like it
I made these last night and they are delicious! Unfortunately, it was too late in the evening to have a cup of coffee with one but I can see the appeal.
Those look SO good!
Chocolate + Peanut Butter in one muffin is my kind of baking!
Can I make this into a bread and have it pre-made (freeze)for Christmas morning? Do you think 350 for 50-60 mins?
Can I make this into a bread and freeze for Christmas morning? I will have 15 people at my house and I want to have several breads pre-made that I can just pull out of the freezer the night before.
I am sure this can baked in a loaf pan Karen. I would say 180-200 for 50 to 60 mins…
Hello, I’m almost certain I read this recipe the other day and you suggested using tahini as an alternative to peanut butter. Now I’ve searched through it several times and I can’t see that bit at all. Was it there and has been deleted or am I just going loopy?!
Hey! I suggested using Tahini instead of PB in this recipe on my Facebook page
This recipe is shared in ‘One Green Planet’ website. Here’s the link – http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/recipe-banana-peanut-butter-breakfast-muffins/
Aha, so I’m not completely mad! That’s where I saw it
We made some this morning with tahini and my 2.5 year old (vegan) son has already eaten three. Very nice, thanks for the share!
Glad you enjoyed them
Now wouldn’t want that for breakfast! Yummy!
the muffins look so good & are healthy and awesome pics… i wish i could like peanut butter and peanut butter goodies like this one…
Those muffins look soo yummy!!Thanks for posting this recipe.
Is there a substitute for flaxseed.Because i’ve heard its not easily digested.
Thank you. You can use eggs or may be yogurt (if you are not vegan) but since I have not tried it I don’t really know how the recipe will work with it. I have been suing flax seeds in my bakes for a long time and I find them great. Not sure about digestion but I know they are wonderfully nutritious!
Thanks for the suggestion!.I tried this one http://www.lovefoodeat.com/flaky-sugar-glazed-indian-doughnut-holes-spiced-with-cardamom/ . The doughnuts came out good.It was a hit with my family.:)love your blog.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked these
the flax seeds in the whole form are not easily digested by the body.
to make it easily digestible, ground the flax seeds to a powder and then you can add this ground flax seed meal to cakes, breads or cookies.
but always remember to refrigerate the flax seed powder and use it 4-5 days, as they turn rancid if kept for more days.
Thank you so much for all the info on Flax seeds Dassana
my pleasure, chinmayie…
