I’d like to take a brief moment to take a break from smoothie month and share a great muffin recipe with you.
As you know, I’ve been working some crazy long days on set. For the most part, I’m craving heavier, more substantial food than I usually would. Which is exactly how these muffins were born.
I wanted something I could pack up for a long day out in the field and share with my hungry co-workers – which include camera men who are on their feet all day – some of whom are also gluten-free!
With this in mind I created the ultimate comfort food muffin packed with oats, peanut butter, banana, and chocolate chips for a little extra perk.
I was overwhelmed by the response to these muffins…people loved them! Some hid extras in their bags for later, and several people asked for the recipe.
I think they’ll keep me around for a bit!
Alright, back to work…
- 1 cup rolled oats (I use wheat-free)
- 1 cup milk (I use almond milk)
- 3 cups sifted gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
- ½ cup sugar
- 5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp allspice
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cup bananas mashed (4-5)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Combine oats and milk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice.
- To soaked mixture, add melted coconut oil, peanut butter (melted), eggs, vanilla and bananas.
- Add wet mixture and chocolate chips to dry ingredients and stir only until flour is moistened.
- Fill greased muffin cups and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Um yum!
These look amazing. What a great way to start the day!
Enjoy your well deserved weekend, G!
These look amazing and I’ve been craving this flavor combo lately. Just wondering…the recipe looks big. How many muffins does the recipe make?
Hi Mari-beth, good point, and you’re right! This recipe actually makes 24 muffins! You can always cut the recipe in half or freeze half if you like
Let me know if you try them!
