Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins
Enjoy something delicious and satisfying with this easy-to-make recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 banana mashed, very ripe
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup yogurt whole milk, plain Greek
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, maple syrup, yogurt, egg, milk, butter and vanilla together until smooth..
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Do not overmix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the muffin cups. (I use an ice cream scoop for easy portioning). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips evenly on the tops. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F degrees. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for another 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
