Equipment

Ingredients 

Dry

  • 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (215g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet

  • 1 cup mashed bananas (240g), 2-3 medium bananas
  • 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt (230g), room temperature
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or date syrup

Stir-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chunks, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a nonstick muffin pan or use a silicone muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Be careful not to over mix! Use a spatula (instead of a whisk) to gently stir together until all the flour is wet. The less you stir the mixture, the lighter and fluffier your muffins will be.
  • Stir in chocolate chunks and walnuts.
  • Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the inserted toothpick in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Take eggs and yogurt out of the refrigerator at least 15 minutes prior to baking. This will help the muffins rise more.
  • Use over-ripe bananas - Your muffins will turn out sweeter and moister.
  • Try adding in some chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds, strawberries, blueberries, shredded carrots, or dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, and dates.
  • You can also freeze these banana chocolate chip muffins for up to 3 months in a freezer bag.
