Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Don’t these muffins sound sinful? Well, they’re not very sinful…In fact, they’re kind of healthy.

I use a whole wheat flour base instead of all-purpose flour, and add some nutritious ingredients that get “hidden” so that your family won’t even know they’re healthier for them! LOL

Type: Muffin Recipe
Serve With: Milk & Enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20-22 mins
Yield: 12 large muffins

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp wheat germ – Tip: I store mine in the freezer to keep it fresh!
  • 1 tbsp flax seeds – Tip: I store them in the freezer too!
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup shelled peanuts – * optional

  • 1/2 cup water – or room temperature tea
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil – You may use vegetable oil if you prefer.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter – smooth or chunky
  • 2 large, ripe bananas – mashed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, flax seeds, baking powder baking soda, cocoa powder and peanuts.
  3. In smaller, flat-bottomed bowl, mash bananas, add oil, peanut butter, water, sugar and eggs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  5. Pour mixture into greased loaf pan and bake in pre-heated oven for 40-50 min, or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
