Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Banana muffins are good, but these whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins with chocolate chips are even better!

These are the best whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins with chocolate chips!During the summer months my cravings for baked goods go way down (they’re still present, but are little teeny bit less). It’s just too hot here in Arizona to fire up the oven some days. But, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t continue to bake something every once and a while, now would I?

You'll love these whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins!Whenever I want to bake something, I usually ask Mad what she feels like, because she (much like me) will always get down on some baked goods! Over breakfast yesterday, Mad and I were talking about what I should bake this week, because you guessed it – I had a hankering to bake!

One of Mad’s favorite treats are my banana bread muffins, so that was her first choice. She usually requests I add some chocolate chips to at least half the batter too, just for her. She’s a firm believer that chocolate chips make everything better and I must say, I agree!

These whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack!Since I bake with bananas A LOT in this house, I wanted to do something a little different than I normally do. During our chat about banana bread muffins, Mad and I agreed that peanut butter also makes everything better! We decided that some peanut butter as well as the addition of chocolate chips would make my plain Jane banana bread muffins something totally new and amazing!

So, you guessed it, we did it! These are our new and improved whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins with chocolate chips (courtesy of Mad)!

These whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack!These soft, sweet, and spongy muffins are everything we love about my traditional banana bread, but with chocolate and peanut butter too! I had a feeling we would really like these whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins, but the truth is, we absolutely loved them! Even my inconsistent baked good consumers (Jay and Hannah) were caught enjoying a few! Now, I know this recipe is a keeper!

This is the best recipe for whole wheat peanut butter banana muffins. They're soft and crumbly, and loaded with peanut butter!

    I wish I liked banana muffins because these look perfect! For some reason I don’t like them, BUT, my hubby does. In fact, he loves them. So I will periodically make them for him. Once every two months satisfies his craving, so I’m pinning this so I can make your delicious muffins the next time he makes puppy dog eyes at me.

    We make banana muffins quite often as an after school snack. I have never tried peanut butter in it though – will be a nice complement to the nuttiness of ww flour . Definitely trying
