Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or another thicker yogurt)
- 2 medium ripe bananas, about 1 cup mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 3/4 cup almond flour (or gluten-free oat flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with liners and grease them well to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mashed ripe bananas, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Tray: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling each liner up to just the top.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with gluten-free oat flour to keep it gluten-free.
- If your yogurt is too thin, the muffin texture may be affected; opt for a thicker Greek yogurt.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey but will slightly change the flavor profile.
- Ensure bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To make the muffins vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based yogurt.
