These PB&J Banana Bread Muffins will remind you of your favorite childhood snack! They’re tasty, fluffy and easy to make.
These PB&J Banana Bread Muffins have easily become my favorite! Recently, husband and I have been counting macros in order to get in shape and focus on our diets and nutrition. Macro counting isn’t for everyone but as my husband is a numbers person, I knew he’d love it and he does! Never before did he realize how much he could eat while eating whole, real foods. Besides eating whole, real foods (veggies, fruits and lean proteins) we need macro friendly, nutritious snacks to tide us over from meal to meal and to keep things interesting.
That’s where these guys come into play! These PB&J Banana Bread Muffins are 130 calories each (before adding the PB and jam). I saw before because it depends on how much PB and jam you want to add! You can add a little or a lot, it’s up to you! These are perfect for a snack, dessert or grab 2 and you have breakfast. I don’t just love these muffins because they’re low in calorie (food isn’t just about calorie counting) but the ingredients are so simple. They’re sweet from just the bananas and maple syrup and the PB&J combo on top really push the flavor over the edge.
I used traditional peanut butter and strawberry jam for my muffins but you can switch it up! Swap out the peanut butter for any other type of nut butter like cashew, almond or pecan! Instead of strawberry jelly try raspberry, blueberry or grape. If you have the time, you can make your own jam and use that instead of store bought. My favorite homemade jam is a mixed berry jam with lemon juice and chia seeds! That would go GREAT with these muffins.
You can keep these muffins in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them like we did. Enjoy!
