Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325℉ and prepare a muffin tray with liners or by greasing it.

Notes

Substitutions

  • Flour
    • Make it gluten-free by using equal parts of Bob Red Mills 1-to-1 gluten-free flour. 
  • Banana
    • Feel free to use fresh or frozen bananas for this recipe, as long as they are ripe.
  • Greek yogurt
    • I use plain Greek yogurt in this recipe but you could be bold and use vanilla or banana flavour for some extra sweetness!
    • Make it dairy-free by using a vegan yogurt alternative!
  • Chocolate chips
    • My go-to chocolate chip for baking is semi-sweet, however, dark chocolate chips would also work well in this recipe.
