Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg, Greek yogurt, oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your light and fluffy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins!
