Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ⅓ cup mashed banana)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon olive or melted coconut oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Add bananas, honey, vanilla, oil, egg, milk and yogurt to a blender. Blend on high for 1 minute or until well combined, smooth and creamy. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  • Divide batter evenly into muffin tin, sprinkle each muffin with a few more chocolate chips and bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. 
  • Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. Makes 12 muffins.

Notes

If you want to make the muffins a bit smaller, you can make 15 instead of 12. You'll just need to reduce baking time a bit, as muffins will bake faster since they're smaller.
Muffins are freezer-friendly! Simply place in ziplock bag or airtight container and freeze up to 3 months. When ready to eat, microwave for 30-45 seconds or thaw out.
