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!!).

May 12, 2016 at 8:36 pmThese 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
May 17, 2016 at 12:45 amGreat! I’m glad you enjoyed them. Because peanut butter is calorically dense, it raises the overall calorie per muffin, but also elevates the flavor 😉

June 28, 2016 at 3:05 pmCan I use almond flour instead of coconut flour? If so, do I need to change the number of eggs that I use?

March 4, 2017 at 3:18 amThese 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 🙂

August 22, 2018 at 11:18 amI was wondering if you could do these in a bread pan.
Dani
August 23, 2018 at 6:50 amHmmm, 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!

March 13, 2019 at 11:13 pmCan I leave the peanut butter out, without replacing it? I guess making them chocolatechip banana muffins ☺️
Dani
March 21, 2019 at 1:36 pmI don’t think that would work for this recipe. It would need to be replaced with something.
