Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed banana (2-3 very ripe bananas)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or dairy milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mash Bananas and Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth. Stir in the honey and melted coconut oil until fully combined.
  2. Add Egg, Milk, Yogurt, and Vanilla: Beat the egg into the banana mixture until incorporated. Then add the almond milk (or dairy milk), Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Add the mini chocolate chips and stir gently just until everything is combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent tough muffins.
  5. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb moisture fully, improving texture.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  7. Scoop Batter into Muffin Pan: Using a 1/4 cup scoop, fill each muffin cup with batter evenly. This amount should yield about 16 muffins.
  8. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • Resting the batter before baking improves moisture absorption for better texture.
  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Mini chocolate chips are preferred as they distribute more evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Substitute coconut oil with melted butter if preferred.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
