How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins

PIN IT

1. Mash your bananas. Grab those spotty bananas sitting on your counter—they’re perfect! Mash them until smooth.
2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together bananas, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla. It should look creamy and thick.
3. Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
4. Bring it together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined—don’t overmix.
5. Fill muffin cups. Scoop the batter evenly into your lined muffin tin. Fill each about ¾ full.
6. Bake. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean but the centers are still soft.
7. Cool slightly. Let muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.

Your kitchen will smell like a bakery—nutty, sweet, and comforting.

What to Serve with Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins

• A hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning.
• A smear of almond butter or a drizzle of honey on top.
• Pair with a smoothie for a balanced breakfast.
• Serve warm with a pat of butter for dessert-like coziness.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use super ripe bananas. The spottier, the sweeter.
• Don’t overmix. Keeps muffins tender instead of dense.
• Bake right away. Letting the batter sit can make them gummy.
• Customize! Toss in dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chia seeds.

Storage Instructions

• Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2 days.
• Fridge: Lasts up to 5 days in the fridge.
• Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Just reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
