Breakfast is about to get tastier – chocolate chip banana muffins are low in calories and will give you energy for the day ahead. Made in one bowl, these muffins are easy to make and perfect for a healthy grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients to make the muffins

These are the type of muffins you can easily have for breakfast without the heavy feeling because they have essential breakfast items:

• Bananas: Use ripe bananas that are naturally sweeter and higher in antioxidants.
• Flour: I use all purpose flour but you can also make this with a gluten-free 1:1 baking mix.
• Greek yogurt: I prefer to use 2% Greek yogurt because it has more fat and moisture than non fat Greek yogurt, which lends to more moisture in the muffins.
• Egg: To help bind the ingredients together and a good source of protein and vitamin D.
• Honey: Used to naturally sweeten the muffins. You can also use maple syrup or cane sugar.
• Coconut oil: Coconut oil helps to make these muffins perfectly moist as well as adding a little flavor. You can use vegetable oil or butter if you don’t have coconut oil.
• Baking soda: To achieve perfectly soft and fluffy muffins.
• Vanilla extract and salt: For sweetness and flavor.
• Cocoa powder and chocolate chip: For that yummy chocolate fix!

How to make chocolate chip banana breakfast muffins

1. Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
2. Add the wet ingredients on top of the bananas.
3. Mix the wet ingredients together until well combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the same bowl. You can whisk them together in a separate small bowl first if you’d like, but it’s not necessary.
5. Mix until the batter is well combined, but not over-mixed.
6. Fold in half of the chocolate chips.

Transfer the batter to a muffin tin lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. They they’re ready for the oven!

Tips to make chocolate chip banana breakfast muffins

1. Do not substitute regular yogurt for the Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt has a thinner consistency and less protein than Greek Yogurt. So it won’t yield the same moist and tender results as using Greek yogurt. I also prefer 2% Greek yogurt.
2. Use ripe bananas for maximum flavor. It also makes it easier to mix the batter using a simple whisk or even fork.
3. Use an ice cream scooper for easy measuring. I find it’s easy to scoop this way, and the muffins end up being uniform in shape and size.
4. Use a large glass measuring cup to make the muffin batter. If you have one large enough to hold all the ingredients, it makes it easier to pour them into the muffin tin.
