If you like a good muffin, then we should be friends.
Isn’t a mutual love of muffins reason enough to be friends?
So glad we agree!
These Chunky Monkey Muffins could also be called Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Muffins, but Chunky Monkey is way more fun to say.
The base of this recipe is the peanut butter, eggs and coconut flour (so it’s 100% grain + gluten free).
They’re super easy to make and are just dreamy with a great cup of coffee.
I’m hoping someone makes these for me on Mother’s Day (hint: to any family members who may be reading this – lol! – as if).
If you don’t believe that they are crazy easy to make, you can see for yourself. (oh. and enjoy!!).
Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas 9 ounces total
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-Heat oven to 350.
- Coat 12-cup muffin pan with your favorite fat (coconut oil, butter, cooking spray).
- In your blender combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips. Gently mix in chips once the ingredients are well combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Cool and enjoy!

These are really really good. The kids loved them and even my husbands that doesn’t like healthy baked goods loves them.

Awesome! I’m glad everyone enjoys them 🙂
Tiff says
These were delicious!! Thanks
Dani says
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed them 🙂
Johanna Collins says
These were yummy! Thx for the recipe! I am surprised by the calories per muffin though! 228 for one regular size muffin? I only got 9 regular size muffins out of the batter.
Dani says
Great! I’m glad you enjoyed them. Because peanut butter is calorically dense, it raises the overall calorie per muffin, but also elevates the flavor 😉
Paula says
Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour? If so, do I need to change the number of eggs that I use?
Brenda says
Dani, what could I sub for nut butters? I can’t have any type of nut butters.
Thank you!
Dani says
You can try sunbutter.
Rachel says
Could I use PB2 powder in this recipe? If so how would I convert it? Please advise. Thank you!
Dani says
I have never tried PB2 so I don’t know much about it. But you’ve peaked my interest!
Emanuele says
These were so good !! I’ve used 1/4 cup of rice flour instead of the coconut flour and they actually raised quite a lot. Thank you so much for the recipe 🙂
Dani says
Good to know! Thanks for the tip. Glad you enjoyed them:)

Poly says
Those are delicious! My hubby loves them. Dani, thanka for all your coaching on self love and proper eating! It is so helpful to me. I feel so much better about myself
Tammy says
I was wondering if you could do these in a bread pan.
Dani says
Hmmm, I’ve never tried! I wonder if it would be enough batter… I bet you can do it in an 8×8, but not positive. I’ll have to play with that!
Karla Grant says
Dani,
Can i use liners for these?
I’m going to do what you say but want to know for future
Thanks for what you do!
Karla
Dani says
Sure!
Chelsie says
So so delicious! These will be a regular in our house. My 18 mos old loved them too. He follows in his mamas footsteps with loving food especially good food! Thank you Dani for another delicious recipe.
Dani says
So glad you all loved them! They are definitely family friendly 🙂
Aurelis says
Can I leave the peanut butter out, without replacing it? I guess making them chocolatechip banana muffins ☺️
Dani says
I don’t think that would work for this recipe. It would need to be replaced with something.
Lady says
Any advice on how to substitute the coconut flour? It’s not something we really use. We have oat, almond, whole wheat flours already. How could we make this recipe work with one of these? Thanks!
Dani says
Coconut flour is much more absorbent then other flours due to its high fiber content. The down side, is that it would not be an even swap with another flour. I will have to experiment with some other flours before I can tell you what a good swap would be. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Lady says
Thank you for the recipe itself! If you ever do find yourself experimenting with a coconut flour sub/equivalence please let us know!
Jennifer says
We used 2.5 tablespoons of oat flour and it worked great!
Pam says
What is the carbohydrates count in this recipe?
Dani says
Hi Pam. These muffins have 18 grams of carbs per muffin.
Alexia says
Hi Dani,
I ve been following you for years now and I don’t now why I took so long to make this recipe. I made them twice in the same week, one time with PB and one time with almond butter, and I also did fresh bananas vs frozen bananas. They were very yummy each time and even better on the second day ! I also love that you don’t need tons of fancy ingredients or kitchen equipment. Thanks for the recipe, definitely a 5 stars!
Lisa says
OMG! Just made these and the are FANTASTIC!!!
Jennifer says
These are WONDERFUL!!!! My daughter and I are ALWAYS trying new gluten free muffin recipes, and this is my new fave! We subbed 2.5 tablespoons oat flour (ground oats in the Vitamix) for the coconut flour since we didn’t have that on hand.
We’d LOVE to get a chocolate version of this! Perhaps with some unsweetened applesauce to balance out cacao powder?
Anyway, this was FABULOSO! Thanks!
Samina says
Hi Dani,
Will a flax or chia egg work in this recipe?
Please let me know
Thank you
Samina
Dani Spies says
I believe a flax or chia egg would work well in this recipe!
Heaathr says
Thes3 are so simple to make and taste wonderful. What I love about them is the texture which is nice and light, not a heavy dense muffin. Made exactly as the recipe is written. I may have been short a tablespoon of peanut butter but it worked out ok. I used organic peanut butter, organic coconut flour and organic sugar. I made the muffins using a silicone muffin pan and got 11 muffins. I baked them in my Wolf counter convection oven on the bake setting and had to bake 22 min. I will definitely be making these again and a great way to use up bananas.
