Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Before you mix the ingredients, preheat the oven to 350°.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

Then, mash three overripe bananas.

Step 3: Add the Oats

Next, add in three cups of instant oats.

According to healthline.com, oats are rich in carbs and fiber, but also higher in protein and fat than most other grains. They are very high in many vitamins and minerals.

Even though your kids might not understand the health benefits of these muffins, you are going to feel good giving them something nutritious each morning.

Step 4: Add the Peanut Butter

Then, add a cup of peanut butter. You can also substitute this peanut butter for a nut free butter too.

You might wonder why is peanut butter good for breakfast? According to the National Peanut Board, when you include nutritious ingredients like peanut butter at breakfast time, you fuel your body with fiber, protein and good fats to keep you satisfied.

By adding it into these mini muffins, you can add protein in a delicious way. These muffins are so good with that peanut butter flavor.

Step 5: The Chocolate Chips

Next, toss in a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. You could also use dark or milk chocolate as well.

Step 6: Mix

Then, mix all the ingredients together.

Step 7: Spray the Pans

Be sure to spray the mini muffin pans. I just used Pam.

Step 8: Add the Batter

Then, add about a tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin container. You can use liners, but I’d still spray the liners just so that they don’t stick.

Here is a budget friendly mini muffin tray at Target. For this recipe, you will need two of these for 4 dozen mini muffins.

Step 9: Bake & Enjoy

Bake these muffins for about eighteen minutes and enjoy!

Since you are making 48 at a time, freeze them by placing them into small baggies or just a freezer container to keep them fresh and ready for the mornings. I normally pack four for myself when I am on the go.
