Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners and grease them lightly to prevent sticking.
- Make muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and Greek yogurt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently just until combined — it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly.
- Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups. Place the pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake for 5 minutes, then without opening the oven door, lower the temperature again to 360°F (182°C) and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine for moist muffins.
- Use a cookie scoop for even muffin sizes and easier portioning.
- Make sure to reduce oven temperature in stages as instructed to ensure even baking and avoid burnt tops.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- You can substitute the oil with melted coconut oil or butter if preferred.
