Ingredients You’ll Need:

This Now, Make It Later!
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Tools Needed:

How to Make Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Banana Muffin Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Whisk in peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla until creamy and well combined.
  4. Add oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups (about 3/4 full).
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little chocolate is okay!).
  8. Cool and enjoy. These are amazing warm when the chocolate is melty.

What to Serve with Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffin Bites

  • A cold glass of milk or oat milk.
  • A hot cup of coffee or tea.
  • Fresh fruit on the side for a balanced breakfast.
  • Pack them into lunchboxes for a sweet surprise.

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Use very ripe bananas—they add natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter or muffins may turn dense.
  • For extra indulgence, press a chocolate chip on top before baking.
  • Double the batch and freeze half—you’ll thank yourself later.

Storage Instructions

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Fridge: Up to 5 days for maximum freshness.

General Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these muffins without eggs?
Yes! Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water).

Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, all-purpose flour works too, but the muffins may be slightly denser.

Can I make them dairy-free?
Absolutely—just swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free version.

Do I have to use dark chocolate chips?
Nope, milk or white chocolate works, but dark chocolate balances the sweetness beautifully.
