Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These healthy treats are made lighter with the natural sweetness of honey and bananas, and have a nice protein kick from using yogurt, whole grain oats, and almond flour. A great alternative to the coffee house treat that is loaded with refined sugar!
Servings: 10 muffins
Calories: 174kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas medium (about 620 g)
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt sub Coconut Yogurt for a vegan option
- 1/3 cup honey sub date syrup for a vegan option
- 1 1/4 cup oatmeal processed to form a flour
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (+ a few to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and put muffin liners in a muffin tin.
- Mash 3 bananas, and slice 1 banana into a bowl. Add the honey and yogurt, and mix together.
- Add the baking soda and sea salt, and mix well.
- In the same bowl, add the ground oats, whole oats, almond flour, and chocolate chips. Mix until no dry flour remains, being careful not to over mix.
