I’m always looking for new ways to make breakfast a little easier. I love recipes that are quick and full of protein when it comes to our first meal of the day. These Peanut Butter & Banana Yogurt Muffins are not only delicious but full of the protein my boys need to fuel their busy day.
Muffins are a must when it comes to our crazy morning schedules, they are easy to grab on the go and everyone loves them. I have growing boys, one of which is a teenager and if you have teenage boys you know they never stop eating! So finding ways to sneak extra protein and fruits into their diets that will keep them full is a must. One of my favorite ways is to add Yoplait yogurt to my muffin recipes – Yoplait Original has 6 grams of protein! It’s the must-have ingredient that makes these muffins moist and tasty. We love Yoplait, with more than 100 different flavors to choose from not only is it a favorite snack or breakfast option on its own but it makes the perfect addition to your baking.
While these delicious muffins are a breakfast go to, they also make the perfect afternoon snack or lunchbox treat for you and your kids. I personally love the combination of peanut butter and banana, if you’ve ever had a peanut butter and banana sandwich you know what I’m talking about. With the added yogurt for a softer muffin and chocolate chips for something a little extra special these are sure to be a huge hit in your house!

This looks yummy! Would their greek yogurt work?
Hi Diana, thank you! Yes their greek yogurt would definitely work and be amazing with this.
Is there not any peanut butter in the muffins, other than the chips?
Crystal! I have no idea how I didn’t catch that the actual peanut butter didn’t get put into the recipe card! Thank you so much for catching that. I updated the recipe card. So sorry about that, without it they just aren’t the same! 😉 xoxoxo
