Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution 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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
