Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed (about 240 g)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt (I use 2%) (60 g)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk* (60 g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar** (or other granulated sweetener) (48 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cup white whole wheat, all purpose, or gf all purpose flour (150 g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (90 g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F and grease a muffin pan (I highly recommend silicone pan for these since they're almost fat-free they will stick like crazy! also DO NOT USE muffin liners)
  • In a large bowl (or food processor) blend together mashed bananas, egg, yogurt, milk, vanilla, oil if using until smooth.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon.
  • Pour dry into wet and fold until combined. Do not overmix this.
  • Fold in chocolate chips (Still not overmixing, I'm watching you!)
  • Transfer to muffin pan and bake for 5 minutes. Then reduce oven temp to 350F and bake another 15-25 muffins until they're golden on top and baked all the way through (you can test with a thin knife).
  • Cool completely and enjoy!

Notes

  • Muffins can be kept refrigerated or frozen for longest shelf life. In other words, for longest shelf life, don't use a shelf :) Technology is your friend.
  • (*) Honestly you can simply use water instead of almond milk. But I always have almond milk on hand so I go with it. 
  • (**) You can omit coconut sugar and muffins will still be very tasty. They may not satisfy a dessert craving but they will be awesome snack/breakfast muffins especially for kids.
