Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Bananas and chocolate are a match made in heaven so when we had a few too ripe bananas I was instantly wanting muffins! The problem with most muffin recipes is that they are filled with flour, oil, sugar and butter. I came across this recipe from Running with Spoons and decided to give it a try. Not going to lie, the greek yogurt in them scared me but I went for it anyways!! 

They came out GREAT!!! The muffins were moist and not overly sweet. The banana flavor came through nicely and even the kids liked them :) 

Here is the recipe! 

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins 

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain greek yogurt

2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned or quick)

2 eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder

1/2 tsp. Baking soda

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (mini or regular) 

1. Get out your muffin tin and SPRAY the cups. Spray the cups even if you are using paper ones. The lack of oil in these muffins makes them stick to everything!! I made this mistake. Please spray!!! 

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If using a blender you may have to stop it and stir it a few times! 

4. Add chocolate chips and stir. 

5. Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top if wanted. 

6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until center is completely cooked. 

Enjoy!!!
