Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.33 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add the honey, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk together until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
