How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Oat Muffins

PIN IT

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Add peanut butter, honey, eggs, vanilla, and milk—whisk until creamy.
3. Mix dry ingredients (oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda) in another bowl.
4. Combine wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—this keeps the muffins light and tender.
5. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups (about ¾ full).
6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool on a wire rack, then enjoy warm with a spread of butter or extra peanut butter!

The kitchen smells like banana bread heaven while these bake—trust me, you’ll be hovering near the oven.
