Published 3/28/2020 • Updated 8/4/2022 We are muffin ladies at Fit Foodie Finds and used our healthy muffin base recipe to bring you this lovely chocolate peanut butter variation! The second I shared a sneak peek of this healthy chocolate peanut butter muffin recipe on Instagram, I knew there was no turning back. You guys have begged for the recipe sooner rather than later, so here it is!
Healthy Muffin Base
One thing I love about the recipes on FFF is that they are all somehow related. Take our 6 Healthy Muffin Recipes – 1 Base Batter post. Yup, that’s where the base of this recipe came from. That post is how we created our famous Healthy Chocolate Muffins recipe and then this choco + pb variation.
Pantry Staples
I love this recipe because the basis of it is pretty much all pantry staples AKA things you probably already have.
white whole wheat flour coconut sugar- option to sub brown sugar 1 to 1 cocoa powder- option to use dark cocoa powder baking soda salt chocolate chips- you can leave these out for fewer calories and sugar, but it’s not recommended.
Wet Ingredients
mashed banana- not a banana fan? Feel free to use any other pureed fruit such as applesauce or even pumpkin puree! eggs- can’t do eggs? Try making these vegan with flax eggs instead. maple syrup- honey is a great swap! all-natural drippy peanut butter- any kind of drippy nut butter will work for these muffins. vanilla extract unsweetened plain almond milk- any kind of milk will work! coconut oil- make sure to measure your coconut oil from the melted form!
Muffin Quick Tips
Don’t Over Mix: this recipe calls for eggs and an over beaten egg isn’t good for anyone! Try not to over mix your muffins or you’ll risk over whipping the eggs. Don’t Over Bake: use a toothpick to check the center of your muffins. If it comes out clean, your muffins are done. Over baked muffins don’t last as long and aren’t as joyful to eat. Operation: MOIST MUFFINS. How to Store Muffins: Let muffins cool completely and then store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze your Muffs: To freeze your muffins, let them cool completely. Then, transfer them onto a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Then transfer them into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag. They will last up to 3 months.
