Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Delicious, Filling, Nutritious

With protein-rich peanut butter, whole wheat, and honey instead of sugar, this healthier version of my go-to Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins is anything but a compromise. They’re a delicious, filling breakfast or snack that you can feel great about eating–and giving to your kids!

Kids in the Kitchen

When the boys were small, we got one of those OK to Wake alarm clocks that let them know it was okay to get up. It worked most mornings, but I remember one morning, they got up super early, roweled up and raring to go and begging for muffins for breakfast.

I decided if they were going to get up that early, they had to start making their own breakfast. So I turned off the cartoons and got them in the kitchen so they could start making muffins. Honestly, how cute is this photo? They LOVE helping in the kitchen!

Easy and Scrumptious

They’re made with whole wheat flour, peanut butter, extra bananas for moisture, a little honey for sweetness and mini chocolate chips all throughout! M’m! M’m! This recipe is so quick and easy that by four years old, Baker had the recipe memorized. Makes this mama proud!

These muffins are a no-brainer! You can have them ready to eat in less than 30 minutes, they’re healthy yet still sweet, moist and full of flavor. I hope they become as much of a family fave in your house as they are in ours! If you’re looking for more traditional banana chocolate chip muffins, I’ve got you covered, too!
