Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Yogurt Muffins {+ Mighty Nut Powdered PB Giveaway!}

Nut butter, oh how I love you so. 

At any given time, there are probably 10 jars of nut butter in my pantry. I most often spread it on fruit or throw it in my smoothies for some extra creaminess and flavor. I also am a fan of incorporating peanut/cashew/almond butter into my baked goods, like today’s muffin recipe.

One brand of nut butter that you’ll always find in my kitchen is Peanut Butter & Co. I especially love their Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter! While I love smooth nut butter, powdered peanut butter is also a staple in my kitchen. So, you could imagine my excitement when I got involved in a Fit Approach collaboration with Peanut Butter & Co. to experiment in the kitchen with their new powdered peanut butter line, Mighty Nut.

What remains is the protein, fiber and delicious peanut buttery taste – but much less fat and calories. Mighty Nut is now available in 4 varieties:

  • Original
  • Vanilla
  • Chocolate
  • Flax & Chia

I decided to come up with a muffin recipe that gives you lots of chocolatey and peanut buttery goodness, while also being low in fat and calories. These wholesome, gluten free babies were the result:

Let’s discuss…

For the base of the muffins we’ve got some oats and Mighty Nut chocolate powdered peanut butter.

Containing no added refined sugar, the muffins are sweetened with only honey and banana. I also included some plain yogurt for a bit of added density and a touch of tanginess.

To make the batter, you simply throw all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and pulse until combined. Stir in the chips, pour evenly into a 12-cup muffin tin, and throw em in the oven. Maybe 5 minutes of prep time?! Easy stuff my friends.

One muffin contains 165 calories, 3 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein, and 32 grams of carbs – making it a perfectly portioned snack that satisfies your sweet tooth.

    Oh man, me and nut butter have such a love hate relationship. I LOVE it, which in turn causes it to hate me because I have zero self control. HAAAAh. These muffins look so good.
