Last week I asked you what kind of recipes you’d like to see more of in 2019 and while I received a variety of requests, the most common response was for “healthier baking recipes”. I actually love baking healthier treats, so I was thrilled to see you wanted more of them. I’ll be posting one healthy baking recipe each month! And we’re kicking things off with these healthy banana and chocolate chip muffin recipe! They’re bakery-style muffins that are moist, sweet, and have perfectly domed lids. I tested the recipe last week and was thrilled they turned out great on my first try! I’ve made them 6 times since then because they’re THAT good.
So what makes these banana muffins healthy? A couple of things! First off, we use 100% whole wheat flour in this recipe. Then we add in protein packed Greek yogurt, heart healthy olive oil, and 1 whole cup of mashed bananas. And finally, we sweeten these delicious muffins with honey and just a kiss of coconut sugar. So while I wouldn’t claim these muffins to be health food, they are made with healthier ingredients you can feel good about.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
When the boys were small, we got one of those OK to Wake alarm clocks that let them know it was okay to get up. It worked most mornings, but I remember one morning, they got up super early, roweled up and raring to go and begging for muffins for breakfast.
I decided if they were going to get up that early, they had to start making their own breakfast. So I turned off the cartoons and got them in the kitchen so they could start making muffins. Honestly, how cute is this photo? They LOVE helping in the kitchen!
They’re made with whole wheat flour, peanut butter, extra bananas for moisture, a little honey for sweetness and mini chocolate chips all throughout! M’m! M’m! This recipe is so quick and easy that by four years old, Baker had the recipe memorized. Makes this mama proud!
