Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Recipe: Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

(Makes 12 large muffins)

Ingredients

4 medium very ripe bananas (or 3 large)

1/4 cup plain greek yogurt

5 tablespoons melted butter

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (of your choice, but we love King Arthur White Whole Wheat)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (chopped)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line a muffin pan with muffin cups or spray with non-stick baking spray.

Place bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held mixer. Blend bananas until mostly smooth. Add greek yogurt, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until well combined.

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) in a separate bowl, then add dry ingredients to liquid and stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter evenly into muffin tin. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before baking.

Bake 23-25 minutes or until tops of muffins are lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool (they taste even better after a few hours of resting, if you can wait that long!).
