These peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins are a big hit at our house! Seriously my kids gobbled these up! The peanut butter, banana and chocolate flavors make for a delicious muffin. They are a great way to use up ripe bananas and can be made ahead of time and frozen for quick and easy breakfasts or snacks later.
The secret to a good banana muffin is grated dark chocolate in the batter. The bitterness from the dark chocolate really highlights all the other flavors and gives the dough some depth of flavor.
You can sub out the peanut butter in this recipe with oil or butter if you don’t love peanut butter or have someone with an allergy.
