If you haven’t noticed, or if you’re new to this blog, I have a thing for the combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and oats. I like the combination in cookies, bars, scones, cheesecake, etc. My newest way to enjoy this combination? In muffins!
The best part? These peanut butter chocolate chip oat muffins don’t taste like the healthy muffins that they are. Wheat flour, oats, yogurt, honey, and peanut butter make up these tasty muffins (so you can really enjoy them!).
A bit of brown sugar is added to give them more of a decadent taste, but feel free to leave it out to keep them healthier. Just enough chocolate chips are stirred in to make these muffins irresistible. Eat a couple for breakfast and grab a few on the way out the door for an afternoon pick me up!
- ¾ C whole wheat flour
- ½ C white whole wheat or all-purpose flour
- 1 C rolled or quick oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ C brown sugar
- ⅓ C honey
- ½ C no-stir natural peanut butter
- ½ C plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ C non-fat milk
- ⅓ C chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, peanut butter, yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin filling each cup about ⅔ full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Perfect breakfast!!

I love this combination! Anything peanut butter and chocolate is good in my book, add the oats and it sounds sinful, but really it’s healthy. My kind of muffin.

It’s like my favourite cookie in muffin form!
yum these look amazing
My favorite combo! I need to make these soon! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Bring on the muffins!
I found this recipe on Pinterest. I just made these muffins for the second time. They are sooo good! My kids loved them, their babysitter loved them, and when we pass some out tomorrow, I’m sure everyone will love them! They are super healthy, and I love that all the ingredients in this recipe are things in always have on hand. I will definitely keep this as my go to muffin recipe! Thank you!!
Thanks for letting me know, Rebecca! I’m so glad you like them. They are definitely a favorite around here, too! 🙂
Can I sub the whole wheat flour for more regular flour. ALready have 3 types of flour and don’t want to add a 4th to the mix.
Yes, you can use all-purpose for the entire 1 1/4 cups of flour and it won’t affect the muffins.
This recipe is the shiz. First time I used coconut oil to line the pans, oh yes. Also used a few Tbs flax meal for shiggles. Instead of whole wheat used my mom’s hippie gluten free garbanzo flour. To counteract this health nuttiness, added a few extra chocolate chips, no one complained. Also used cashew butter which was delish, so have no fear you poor peanut allergic souls! I’d like to try it without the white flour, but I’m a busy momma and don’t have time to be fuckin’ up a whole batch of muffins, ha!
This is the recipe I’ve been searching for!
PS. Some fruit flies might have landed in the batter but that’s just extra protein. Don’t ask don’t tell.
Those muffins look perfect! Peanut butter-chocolate is always a winning combo!
These look so good, I wish I had one for breakfast!
Chocolate and peanut butter is such a great combo! And these muffins look amazing. can’t wait to make them and sit down and enjoy one of these babies with a cup of tea 🙂
This has all my favorite things in it. PB, chocolate, and oats. Total winner!
These look perfect! I’d love a few for breakfast right now! Love the PB and chocolate combo!
You really can’t go wrong with that combo! One of these would hit the spot right now.
Chocolate for breakfast! I am ALL in!
These look terrific!!! LOVE that these are a bit healthier than typical muffins–because I know I’d go back for seconds!!
Such a festive and fun treats!
