    Peanut butter chocolate chip banana oatmeal muffins

    These peanut butter chocolate chip banana oatmeal muffins are soft and moist and sweetened naturally using maple syrup. They’re incredibly easy to make and only require basic ingredients. Cut out the mess by using only one mixing bowl (fewer dishes YAY). Best of all, they are dairy-free and gluten-free. Perfect make-ahead snacks for hungry bellies.

    Tips and Substitutions For The Best Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins

    If you don't have the above ingredients on hand, don't fret, you can always make some easy substitutions.

    Peanut butter can be exchanged for any other nut-butter or seed-butter. I have tried these muffins with almond butter and also with sunflower seed butter and they worked just perfectly.

    Using sunflower seed butter also makes them more lunchbox friendly if your child attends a nut-free school, or you prefer not to send peanut butter to school.

    Eggs can be substituted with chia eggs instead.

    To make one chia egg, simply combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 2.5 tablespoon of filtered water and allow to sit for 5 minutes, until it becomes a gel-like consistency.

    This is a great option for someone with an egg allergy or someone who is vegan.

    There are also pre-made egg substitutes you can buy at the store, however, it is so easy to use chia seeds if you already have them on hand.

    Maple Syrup can be swapped out for some honey or rice malt syrup.

    Dairy-free milk can be swapped for your milk of choice.

    Oat Flour can be swapped for regular plain flour, or if you would like to keep it gluten-free, then a gluten-free flour mix.

    NOTE: if you are gluten-free please be sure to check the packaging to ensure that the oats/oat flour you are using are gluten-free and have been produced in a safe facility.

    How To Make Oat Flour

    Oat flour can be purchased in most grocery or specialty stores.

    However, if you cannot find it at the store, it is really easy to make your own!

    Simply add 1 cup of oats to a high-speed blender and blend until the flour is blitzed and resembles a fine flour.

    Easy!

    Can Banana Oatmeal Muffins Be Made Ahead Of Time?

    Yes they can.

    They will store well in the fridge for about 5 days which makes them perfect for making at the beginning of the week and including in lunch boxes or enjoying as an after-school or afternoon snack.

    They also freeze well.

    To freeze, arrange the food in a single layer on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer. Pop into the freezer. Remove when frozen and transfer to a freezer-friendly container or Ziploc bag and pop back into the freezer until ready to use.

    When you want to enjoy the muffins, simply remove them from the freezer in the morning and pop them into a lunchbox. They will have thawed by the time lunch rolls around.

    Alternatively, pull them out of the freezer the night before and allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge.

    Equipment

    • Muffin Tin

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 banana
    • ¼ cup peanut butter
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon dairy-free milk

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175C).
    • Place bananas in a large bowl and mash.
    • To the mashed bananas add in the eggs, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract and milk and stir well to combine.
    • Add in the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Using a spatula, carefully mix until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    • Add the chocolate chips to the mixture and stir to combine.
    • Either use a nonstick spray to spray a 12-count muffin or use cupcake liners.
    • Divide the batter equally among muffin liners. Sprinkle chocolate chips and oat flakes onto each muffin.
    • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean, with just a few crumbs attached.
    • Remove from the oven, and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tray, before transferring to a wire cooling rack and allowing to cool completely.

      We love these muffins! They are our go to muffins for ski trips. So easy to whip up the night before and enjoy on the drive to the mountains. I always make a double batch because they disappear quickly!

      These were delicious and very moist. Very easy to make my own oat flour too.
      The ingredients list says baking powder but the instructions say baking soda. I used baking soda, maybe it doesn’t really matter which ?

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
