Hi everyone, yes as you can see, I have another banana peanut butter recipe for you. These Healthy Banana Muffins with peanut butter and chocolate chips are so good! I had a friend give me 3 big cases of yogurt last week and I told her I’d make a batch of somewhat healthy banana muffins to repay the favor. You’ll be so happy eating one of these bad boys for breakfast, they are soft and full of fabulous flavor! I baked one muffin in a small ramekin then wrapped it up for my friend. Give it a try, it makes a cute homemade gift!
No worries if you are not a coconut fan, just leave it out. I made half of them with coconut topping for me and half without to satisfy my picky coconut hating husband! Hope you all enjoy!

I have been on a total coconut kick lately, so these are calling my name!
What a great muffin! I’ll have to try them out, my oldest son and I love a good muffin in the morning.
Yum, these look terrific. I’m happy to have stumbled on your site today; got here because I looked up “roasted banana bread” on google. I just made some yummy roasted banana muffins, and was curious about other roasted banana recipes as I’ve never done that before. I’m going to go poke around your site. I have a feeling there’s a lot to love here! Thanks.
these look so good!
Those look sooo yummy!!
These muffins looks great, I can’t wait to try them. I am always glad to find healthier recipes. I have to agree with your husband here, I’m going to make mine without coconut, but to each his own!
Oh my goodness! These muffins look heavenly. I love the coconut sprinkled over the top, too. And the presentation in the ramekins is brilliant! Sorry that I’ve been an absent commenter; I just finished up my law school exams and am finally getting around to my google reader.
These look and sound absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to try!
Oooh I love these and I love the packaging! I’m a sucker for individual desserts. Especially anything banana!
