These healthy breakfast muffins are not only easy, they are absolutely delicious. The other day I was craving muffins so I threw a few ingredients in a bowl and was left with this incredible treat. I had to film them right away and get them out into the world because they are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. These muffins are so versatile and only have a few ingredients that you probably have on hand. You can add any fillings you like such as nuts, berries, or chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment and make these to taste. I personally love enjoying them with some salted butter and honey while they are warm but you can absolutely top them off with extra nut or seed butter or even jam. Feel free to double or triple the recipe as this recipe makes 4 medium sized muffins.

Healthy Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 large mashed banana
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup rolled oats, I used quick cooking
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F. Mash one ripe banana, add the egg, natural peanut butter and pure vanilla extract. Give it a stir and add the rolled oats and baking powder.
- Stir again and pour into a muffin tin lined with parchment paper. I get 4 medium muffins out of this recipe so feel free to double or triple it.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until light and golden.
- Enjoy with salted butter or anything you like.
Made these yesterday! I subbed sunflower seed butter for PB since I was out and doubled the recipe. I also oiled the muffin tins and baked them as minis for my little one (mine took about 13 minutes to bake)- these are great because they don’t have any sugar in them (provided your nut/seed butter of choice does not)! They turned out delicious, my little loves them! Now to see fit they’re freezer friendly! 🙂
I love this feedback, Miri, thank you so much! So glad you and your little enjoy them. ❤️
Hi there! I was wondering if I could just oil the muffin tin instead of using parchment paper or baking paper to line them? Made this and then realized I didn’t have any XD
So yes but butter could work better. Sometimes oil tends to stick to mine.
Love them! Made them this morning and looking forward to making more. Next time will add chocolate chips. Every Sunday I make something from Modern Nonna! Thank you for sharing all your recipes
You’re so sweet, Marzia. Thank you so much for your support. It means the world. ❤️
If I have 3 Bananas, do I also add 3 eggs? Do I just triple the recipe?
Hi there, yes absolutely just triple it 🙂
If I triple this recipe for 12, do i need to adjust my cook time, or will the same 22-25min be long enough? Thanks!
Hi Jill, as long as you distribute the batter evenly across 12 muffin wells in a standard muffin tin, the original cook time should work. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of a muffin; it should come out clean, without any sticky batter.
Got it! Thank you! 🙂
Hi live the recipe could i please have the measurements in grams please
Hi Kiki, sorry I do not have gram measurements for this recipe at this time. Hope you can still enjoy the recipe!
Hi! I want to make these but I have a mini muffin pan only. Do you think the timing and temp will still be the same if cooked in the mini muffin pan?
The batter will cook more quickly in mini muffin pans. I would start checking the muffins for doneness starting around 10 minutes, and then every 2 minutes after.
Hi thanks for the beautiful recipe but i was wondering if i could get the measurements in grams as to where i live we dont use cups thank you
Hi Kiki, thank you for your comment! Sorry, at this time I do not have gram measurements. Will do my best to add them in the future.
Hi I have to say the healthy breakfast muffins were disappointing. I think could have been because are in cups only. could you please give measurements in grams too…not all of us live in the USA. Thankyou!
Hi Sacha, yes absolutely. When I started this blog I wasn’t adding them as there was no demand at the time, but the last few months ANYTHING I bake has been in grams and every recipe moving forward will be as well.
