Moist and tender muffins with a perfect balance of peanut butter richness and natural banana sweetness, ideal for make-ahead breakfasts that keep well for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining. Add peanut butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy and well blended.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold using a spatula until just combined. Batter should be a bit lumpy.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  9. Once completely cooled, store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs and yogurt blend better. Cool muffins completely before storing to prevent them from falling apart. Freeze individually wrapped for best preservation.
