Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Fold Dry Ingredients Into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined to keep the muffins tender. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly through the batter to add sweetness and texture.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • You can use all whole wheat flour for a denser, heartier muffin texture.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or dried fruits for variation.
  • These muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
