Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
This recipe has a few basic ingredients so it is important to make sure you are using excellent quality! I found SimplyNature Organic Peanut Butter, banana’s, and Millville Old Fashioned Oats at ALDI and knew I could make something amazing. And these muffins do not disappoint! The best part about these muffins is that there is a ton of flavor but NO added sugar!! So perfect for breakfast. If you happen to want to add a bit of decadence, I added an almond milk glaze to the muffin and it definitely adds an extra sweet kick!
I have to tell you, one of my favorite things is being inspired by my weekly ALDI shopping trip. Not only do they have great pantry staples I can also count on, but now they have even more new
and updated products to offer that really get my creative juices flowing! This trip I found the new FriendlyFarms Organic Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk. When I saw it I just knew that it would make the PERFECT glaze for these muffins and that I could still feel really good about feeding it to my kids! I am a sucker for anything organic and the almond milk did not disappoint! (I may have finished the container in 2 days! Who knew it would be so delicious with everything?!?)
Not many things make me feel better than baking delicious snacks for my kids that they love and that are better for them! Olivia (my baby!) loved these muffins and asked for them every morning. That makes a mama’s heart happy! <3

I enjoy your recipes and look forward to your reply. Thanks.
This recipe is called Peanut butter banana muffins but bananas are not listed in the ingredient list or directions? How much banana do you put in and when?
Thanks,
Angele
Hi Angele- bananas are definitely listed in the ingredients and directions. 🙂
Are there any adjustments for making it a loaf instead?
I have not made these as a loaf so cannot provide accurate adjustments at this time.
The recipe says two bananas. Did you miss that.
How many calories are in each piece?!
The recipe looks delicious. Could you email it to.me due to the fact mother is being repaired.
Bananas vary in size and ”medium” is subjective. How many cups of mashed banana, please?
Looks yummy.. But do u have nutritional information?
I love the range of healthy ingredients you used. Sometimes I see muffins people recommend for breakfast but it’s loaded with sugar. I know I don’t want my kids starting the day that way. These sound delicious.
Amanda, my question re absence of specified brand name products was posted; however, no answer was not given.
I’m not sure what you are asking Linda.
I made these yesterday and they are great. They are not very sweet but my sons still loved them. I put the oats in a blender since I knew they would like the texture better that way. We skipped the glaze and added a few chocolate chips and blueberries to some.
I don’t have any Bakers Corner flour. Would King Auther’s unbleached all purpose be okay? It has more protein than most other flours?
Can unsweetened apple sauce be used instead of Greek yogurt? And how much? My daughter is allergic to milk.
Thank you
I have used the koko dairy free coconut yogurt with it and that worked.
Honey is an added sugar, as is the glaze. While these are reduced sugar they are not no sugar added.
Honey contains 40 percent fructose and 30 percent glucose; then water, pollen, and minerals. Honey is different because of the enzymes that are added
to the nectar by bees that divide the sucrose into two simple sugars, fructose, and glucose. These sugars are directly absorbed by our bodies and are easier to digest.
Sugar is higher on the glycemic index (GI) than honey, so it raises blood sugar levels more quickly. This is due to its higher fructose content, and the absence of trace minerals. So while you are technically correct, the way that honey is digested is significant and if it is the only sugar added to a diet, it is better for you.
Delicious
the best muffins i made. i used no name ingredients, regular milk liquid honey, rolled oats. i used crunchy peanut butter, 1 and a half big banana. had no med. basically i improvised and used what i had on hand. they turned out great and i will make them again.
Exelent this look soo good
Can i make anything you have for recipe for instant pots
?
What can I use as a substitute for the oats, I am allergic to them, but would love to make this recipe.
Mini chocolate chips would make an excellent addition!
No added sugar…? Are you kidding? 1/4 cup of honey and the glaze is confectioners sugar.
You might want to rethink that statement!
No added sugar in the muffin. The glaze is separate. The proportions of glucose and fructose in honey and sugar are different:
sugar is 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose
honey contains 40 percent fructose and 30 percent glucose
The remainder of honey consists of:
water
pollen
minerals, including magnesium and potassium
These additional components may be responsible for some of the health benefits of honey.
Sugar is higher on the glycemic index (GI) than honey, meaning it raises blood sugar levels more quickly. This is due to its higher fructose content, and the absence of trace minerals.
Calm down, Anne. It’s just a recipe. If you don’t like it, don’t make it.
can the bananas be replaced with something else?
You can omit. 🙂
Will rice flour work for all purpose flour?
Hi, Tina! I work with iambaker and am happy to help with questions. Yes, you can use rice flour in place of all-purpose. However, we have not tried that with this recipe. I hope it turns out, and have a great day!
Is there an alternative to eggs?
