Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins Ingredients
This healthy muffin recipe is made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your house. All you need is:
- whole wheat flour

- baking soda
- salt
- brown sugar
- pure maple syrup or agave syrup
- natural peanut butter
- Greek yogurt
- large egg
- vanilla extract

Tips
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Or you can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you refrigerate them, I recommend microwaving them for around 10 seconds before eating.
Make them vegan. If you want to have vegan muffins, you will need to replace the yogurt, egg, milk and potentially chocolate chips. There are many different dairy-free chocolate chips and yogurt options out there that are great. As for the non-dairy milk, some great options are coconut milk or cashew milk. You could use almond milk or soy milk, but the texture may be less fluffy. To replace the egg, I love this recipe to make a flax egg.
Swap out the chocolate chips. Some good alternatives are either dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, depending on what flavor you are looking for. A chopped peanut butter cup is also delicious if you want some decadent muffins.
Don't have natural peanut butter? Replace it with regular creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your tastes. You can also use almond butter, cashew butter or seed butter if you have allergies.
Do not use muffin liners. Because these muffins are made with less fat, they will stick to any paper muffin cups you use. The easiest option is using a greased muffin tin or silicone muffin pan.
