Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins taste like classic banana bread but incorporate Greek yogurt to add some protein and use a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour to add whole grains while also maintaining the texture of a traditional muffin.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 bananas
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a bowl, whisk together the two flours and baking soda, then set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together with a mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Add the yogurt, eggs, vanilla and milk and mix just until incorporated.
- Alternately add the bananas and flour mixture, ½ of each at a time, and mix just until incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter into lined muffin cups and bake at 350 for 22 minutes, or until the muffins are done and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs and no wet batter.
- Allow the muffins to cool at least 5 minutes prior to eating. Cool them at room temperature for at least 1 hour prior to storing in an airtight container.
Notes
Never waste a brown banana again by simply putting them in the freezer once they're ripe. Then, thaw bananas at room temperature for a few hours prior to making these muffins.
