Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg whites, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and unsweetened applesauce to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the light brown sugar, making sure it's fully incorporated into the mixture.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy your delightful Low Fat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins while they are fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
