Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prepare a muffin pan with liners or spray with cooking spray.
Place all the ingredients (except chocolate chips if using) into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth then mix in the chocolate chips if using by hand.
Divide the batter among the muffin cavities, filling to three-quarters full. Bake 15 minutes until the muffins are set and slightly brown on top.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan 5 minutes before removing and enjoying.
Store muffins in the refrigerator up to 10 days or in the freezer up to 60 days.

Notes

Expert Tips

- Adding Toppings: In addition to dairy-free or regular chocolate chips you can mix raisins, seeds, chopped nuts, or berries into this banana muffin recipe. You can also simply sprinkle them on top and use a variety. The recipe is very versatile!
- Sweetness: Using very ripe bananas will result in muffins that are sweet enough, but if your bananas are not very ripe and sweet then you will need to add some maple syrup to the batter. I recommend you test the batter before baking and adjust.
- Storing: The muffins are made with Greek yogurt so they will need to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. You can refrigerate them up to 10 days in a container or up to 60 days in the freezer.
- Prep Your Baking Pan: Use paper or silicone liners for easy removal! You can also spray the pan well with baking spray if you don't have liners.
- Mini Muffins: You can make these into mini-sized muffins if you want! Just be sure to reduce the cooking time to 8-12 minutes. The process photos shows 12 muffins in a mini muffin tin even though the recommended serving size is 9 for regular tin muffins.
