Vegan Peanut Butter Swirled Chocolate Banana Muffins

These heavenly Vegan Peanut Butter Swirled Chocolate Banana Muffins are definitely worth indulging anytime of the day!  Healthy, delicious, so moist and full of peanut butter, chocolate and banana flavor!   

This trio of ingredients is like the best, especially when it comes to muffins that kind of taste like chocolate cake!  And who can resist peanut butter swirls? 

(You can leave the peanut butter out of the equation, but we were feeling the trio and we were so happy with the outcome!)  

What is our obsession when it comes to muffins? 🙂

Besides, your own individual-sized quick breads, they can also be filled with a variety of tasty add-ins, such as fruits, oats, nuts or chocolate chips.  You can even swirl or stuff them with a vegan cheesecake filling or peanut butter!  

Muffin batter is normally beaten together with a few multiple strokes to combine, no over-mixing is best.  The batter will remain a little lumpy.  Not like a cake batter. This makes for a more dense baked good.  

These Vegan Peanut Butter Swirled Chocolate Banana Muffins are acceptable to eat for breakfast, brunch, snacking and freezing. 

These will freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. You can warm up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
