I saw a recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Muffins floating around and I just had to convert it! These muffins are considered an “E” fuel because of the oatmeal. There’s not actually any peanut butter in them..there is peanut flour which keeps this “E” friendly. The muffins are easy to make and super-family friendly. I’m really excited about their texture, which mimics that of banana bread perfectly. Stay tuned for a loaf version. 🙂
This recipe is also fairly frugal as it uses oat flour. I just grind my own in my blender. No need to buy another flour when I have the ingredient right in my cupboard. I also prefer to use the ripest bananas possible for this recipe. Like, nearly black. It just makes the muffins taste better, in my opinion.
These muffins have lots of protein in them already, but I do like to pair them with a Trimmy Light!
Special Ingredients Mentioned:
- 2 Large Ripe Bananas
- 1/2 C. Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 C. Almond or Cashew Milk
- 2 Egg Whites

- 1/2 t. Cinnamon
- 1/4 t. Mineral Salt
- 1/4 C. Peanut Flour
- 3/4 C. Gentle Sweet
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly grease/prep your muffin tin. 2. Mix together the wet ingredients. 3. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined 4. Divide the mixture between 12 muffin cups. 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
In the oven – smell DELICIOUS ❤
I hope you enjoyed them, Nancy!
Making now and could not stop sneaking licks of the spoon!! So yummy! So t is tablespoon not teaspoon right? Just double checking!
No, it’s teaspoon! A capital T or “T.” means Tablespoon.
My son just helped me make these and they are in the oven. We can’t wait to try them!
I hope you guys like them! 🙂
Is the Greek yogurt non=fat? Thanks
Yes. 🙂
Also, is this a meal or treat? As a meal how many can be eaten?
E meals are difficult for me to understand, thanks
This is a meal. 🙂 I’d recommend 2 as a serving size. If you’re still not satisfied, add some Greek yogurt and berries.
These look yummy! I’m trying to find something for my husband to quickly grab and go in the morning and these look perfect. My only question is the ground oat flour, I’m assuming you just put it in the blender and ground it up? Sorry, I’m horrible in the kitchen, so this is probably a very silly/stupid question. I have a Vitamix blender.
Yupp! You are correct. 🙂 I just grind it in my blender. You CAN purchase it, but it’s so simple to grind yourself that I never have.
I just made these. they were great! I so needed a good E muffin. thank you so much!
Other than needing to adjust for sweetness, do you think a sub of canned pumpkin would work for the banana?
Yes, I think that would work wonderfully! Let me know if you try it and like it!
I just ordered my peanut flour. Can i use real peanut butter?
Hi!
You could, but that would take this from being an “E” to a crossover. 🙂
In the oven right now!
Do I need to double the recipe if I want to use a 9×13 pan?
I’ve used a 9×13 inch pan without doubling and it’s been fine. 🙂
I only had oat fiber rather than oat flour (I decreased amount by 1/4). Mine were VERY soft in the muddle even after increasing oven time by 10 minutes & using muffin top pans. Can’t figure out if the oat fiber could have made these so hard to get done.
I think so! Oat flour is quite a bit different. 🙂 I’m sorry you had such trouble!
Thanks so much for this recipe! These are on my permanent rotation for E meals and snacks.
So glad you like it!
i can’t seem to get the recipe to print…. ?? 🙁
They are great!
Thank you! 🙂
These look great! But what can you use in place of the yogurt for dairy free?
Unsweetened applesauce would work great!
