Ingredient Notes:
Bananas: Bananas are so versatile and this recipe for banana oatmeal muffins is a great way to use up bananas in your freezer or that are getting brown. They’re also rich in nutrients, awesome for your digestive health, and full of antioxidants.
Peanut Butter: Peanut butter can be a great, healthy source of protein. The issue is, a lot of typical peanut butter has all sorts of ingredients and sugars that make them unhealthy. Make sure you look at the ingredient list of the peanut butter you’re buying. The only ingredient should be peanuts!!

I loved these! A perfect grab and go breakfast I feel good about eating. It’s basically a bowl of oatmeal but in the form of a chocolate chip muffin! Thanks Maria, you rock!!
thank you so much, sam!
This recipe is so easy! I love when I only have to clean one dish and can whip them up in the blender. These are so delicious – the perfect consistency and sweetness. A great snack to have on hand for the week! I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant so I made a big batch to freeze for when babe comes.
SO glad these were so easy for you, Becky! Glad you love them as much as we do! Anything to keep you feeling organized while you prep for little bubba!
These sound absolutely delicious and I happen to have an insane amount of dead bananas in my freezer, and like 2 1L jars of oats
thank you so much for the love jasmine!
Did you pre-blend the oats or is it okay to have them as they are before pulsing?
just add everything into the blender as it is!
These look like a perfect way to start the morning- my kids are going to be so upset if I eat them all, I reckon they will hide some so when they get home they’ll have some haha
hahahahah you’re totally going to have to do that!
