Also, we always want to make a healthy fresh start in New Year! Therefore, we decided to start a diet, go to a gym or at least start eating healthier.

Chocolate Chip Mini Banana Muffins

Also, there’s no butter, sugar, white flour or other unhealthy ingredients in these muffins. OK, it has some chocolate chips, but it’s dark chocolate. And some dark chocolate is good for your health, right?! But, if you don’t agree, feel free to leave these out or substitute with chopped nuts.

These Banana Muffins are healthy and lightened up from the traditional muffin loaded with sugar.

Instead of sugar, I used honey as a natural sweetener and the whole wheat flour instead all-purpose flour. And I also substituted butter with plain nonfat Greek yogurt.

Skinny Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins freeze well, so you can make them for weekend and have a healthy breakfast all week. First, bake them and let cool completely, then warp each one in plastic wrap and place in ziplock bag and freeze for later. That way you can have a healthy food for breakfast even on those busy mornings when you are late for work or have to pack a lunch box for your kids, too. When ready to use, unwrap these mini bites, thaw or microwave and you’re ready to go

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F and spray 12 cup standard muffin tin or 24 cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. I used mini muffin tin.
2. First, in a bowl whisk dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
3. Then, in a large bowl mash bananas. Next, add honey, oil, vanilla, milk, Greek yogurt and egg, then, mix until well combined and smooth. You can use electric mixer or whisk by hand.
4. Add dry ingredients and mix (or whisk)until just combined, too.
5. Finally, fold in chocolate chips.
6. Fill muffin tin with batter almost to the top and bake until the toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out almost clean with a few crumbs attached. It takes about 20-25 minutes for regular sized muffins or 14-16 minutes for mini muffins.
7. Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
