These banana chocolate chip muffins are easy to make and filled with healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt and honey! These are a delicious way to start the day.
I found myself with some ripe bananas on the countertop and I decided a muffin recipe was in order! Chocolate chip muffins are my favorite so I whipped up these healthy muffins.
These muffins are easy to make and they’re only 130 calories each- even with a generous sprinkle of chocolate chips! I like to save a tablespoon of chocolate chips to sprinkle on once the muffins are in the baking tin ready to go in the oven.
Tips for Baking Muffins
- Once you’ve removed the pan from the oven, take the muffins out of the pan to cool. If you leave them in the pan, they’ll steam and it can make the muffins soggy.
- You can use any chocolate chips you like, but I prefer to use dark chocolate mini chips. I like getting a little bit of chocolate in each bite!
- Do not overmix the batter! Stirring too much will make the muffins too dense.

These banana chocolate chip muffins are easy to make and filled with healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt! These are a deliciously healthy way to start the day.
Ingredients
- 3 small very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- Mash up the bananas and then stir in the honey and melted coconut oil.
- Beat the egg into the mixture, and then add the milk, greek yogurt, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do NOT over mix.
- Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This is critical so the flour can absorb some of the moisture.
- Using a 1/4 cup scoop, add the batter to each muffin tin. It should make about 16 muffins.
- Baking for 15-17 minutes or until lightly brown.
Notes
It’s important to let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This is critical so the flour can absorb some of the moisture.

I completely agree mini chips > regular chips. They get dispersed more evenly!
