Banana Bread

Banana Muffins

This banana muffin recipe pairs nutty whole-wheat flour with sweet, ripe banana and dark chocolate chips for an irresistibly moist and tender grab-and go-breakfast or snack.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour or buckwheat flour
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large bananas (about 8 ounces each), mashed
  • 6 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
  • ⅓ cup plain whole-milk strained (greek-style) yogurt
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Whisk whole-wheat flour (or buckwheat flour), all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk mashed bananas, oil, yogurt, honey, egg and vanilla together in a large bowl until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture; whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, about 1/4 cup each. Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
