Healthy banana muffin recipe for your busy mornings, lazy afternoons or crazy evenings. Come on! They are your banana muffins. Have them any time you want!

You need to check my other easy breakfast recipes right away!

I can't stop staring at those gooey and melty dark chocolate pockets. Because they did not solidify (like the milk chocolate) as soon as I cut my muffin into two.

As a result, I'm even more certain that I don't like milk chocolate. I never have! Added it only for ~~more calories~~ looks. Sad face!

However milk chocolate or no milk chocolate! This is totally upto you. Because they are a winner with or without any chocolate.

Lets find out how!

Over the top moist!
Melt in mouth soft from protein rich greek yogurt and honey
So fluffy and flavorful- due to yogurt again, bananas, a dash of vanilla and baking soda! And may be you want to ripen your bananas quickly, no? I have shared a super easy trick here in this post
Lightened up and low in fat-only ½ tablespoon for 6 good sized muffins
Contains zero processed sugar-because these are sweetened with honey
Also filled with heaps of chocolate chunks- Hence yummy! 😉

So these are ''all stuff healthy'' banana muffins? Huh! Probably they taste like some boring health food then? Nope! Rather they taste exactly like a soft, tender and fluffy banana muffin overloaded with fat and sugar. No kidding!

How to make healthy banana muffin recipe?

So easy!

First, start with mixing your eggs, honey, greek yogurt, mashed banana and some almond/soy milk.
Second, sift your dry ingredients over the wet ones.

Now I have used a combination of white whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. Certainly you can use whole wheat flour in addition with all purpose flour or even all white wheat flour .

Finally add your chocolate chunks, pour them in the muffin tray, top with more chocolate, bake and top with even more chocolate! Seems like you get my point!

That's the way I did it. And see the result. ⇓⇓⇓ Certainly charming! Charming right?

Most importantly, don't forget to grease your liners/muffin tray well with a spray or some oil using a pastry brush. These muffins are almost fatless. And they are sure to stick if not greased.

I keep meaning to make sometime with bananas but they never last long enough in my house, my kids eat them before I get to bake with them 😀 These look really good, I might have to hide some bananas in the back of the fridge.
