Tell me about this recipe!
- These muffins are incredibly moist because of the mashed bananas added to the batter.
- I get extra tall, bakery style muffins by baking them for the first 5 minutes at a very high temperature, then lowering the temperature. This will make your muffins rise much higher!
- They’re stuffed with chocolate chunks which make them so tasty, but you can also use chocolate chips.
Ingredients Needed
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
- Oats: Use rolled oats for these muffins and not instant oats. You then need to pulse the oats to become oat flour.
- Peanut Butter: I am using regular peanut butter, not the type of peanut butter which has oil in it.
- Bananas: Be sure to use very ripe bananas for this!

Recipe Tips
- I make sure that all of my ingredients are at room temperature before I start the recipe, so pull out all of the ingredients about 2 hours before you start baking.
- I highly recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- Be sure to not open the oven door when reducing the temperature, this will help give you super tall muffin tops.
Frequently Asked Questions
I like to use a large ice cream scooper to neatly transfer the muffin batter into the tins.
Yes! Wait until they are completely cool, then put in a freezer bag and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw completely in the fridge or defrost in the microwave.
You buy oat flour at most grocery stores or health food stores, my favorite brand is Bob’s Red Mill. If you don’t have access to oat flour, you can make your own! Take rolled oats and grind them in your food processor until you have a fine powder. You can also substitute the oat flour for regular flour
You can substitute in an equal amount of melted coconut oil.
