One of our very favourite muffin recipes is Banana Oatmeal with Chocolate Chips of course, because my muffin monsters love all things chocolate. Recently I decided to update our tried and true recipe for a bit of fun with some Reese’s Spreads. You can’t go wrong with Reese’s!
Reese’s Monkey Muffins
Reese’s Monkey Muffins are banana muffins with a chocolate and peanut butter swirl!
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oats
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¾ cup milk
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large ripe mashed bananas
Reese’s Spread
Instructions
Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In large bowl, beat the egg. Stir in milk, oil and vanilla. Add the mashed bananas and combine thoroughly.
Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined.
Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper baking cups or spray with baking spray. Divide the batter evenly among them.
Take a tablespoon of Reese’s Spread and spoon it onto the top of each muffin. Using a knife drag the spread through the muffin mixture to create a marbled effect.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes.

For my boys, these are the perfect after school snack! They taste even better warm with a glass of cold milk!
I know these would be a big hit in our house! Thanks for sharing going to have to make up a batch next week!
Such an easy recipe but they look fancy from a bake shop
I’m afraid that I don’t like peanut butter nor ripe bananas but this I should think is an ideal recipe for my son, an adult, to make since he loves banana bread and peanut butter too. :-)_
definitely more for him, I’ve heard of people who actually put peanut butter on their warm banana bread
I would enjoy these for breakfast!
I do too! yum!
These look delicious ! Perfect snack to bring into work.
My boys would love this! I will have to try it tomorrow…
I am definitely trying these tomorrow morning
Anything with peanut butter is good with me! Good way to use up ripe bananas too.
I think that a drizzle…a big topping of more chocolate would be good for these muffins!
Thanks for sharing going to have to make up a batch,the grandkids will gobble those up real quick !
Looking forward to making these , thanks for sharing
My kids would definitely like these! I’ll have to make these instead of banana bread.
