These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are so moist and delicious, and have earned a spot on our family favorite list. Great treat for school lunches.
These moist banana chocolate chip muffins are so yummy and so easy. These are the muffins most requested for birthday treats to bring to school when my kids are celebrating their birthdays in class.
This recipe is for banana chocolate chip muffins with oil. I know there are many ways to make your muffins moist. This recipe includes a half cup of oil and half cup of plain yogurt.
You can substitute the oil and yogurt with the following:
- Applesauce
- Sour cream
Even though this recipe includes oil, these taste like healthy banana chocolate chip muffins. I think the cup of smashed banana overpowers the other tastes and you can taste that kick of health.
When you're looking for a banana chocolate muffin recipe, this is a keeper. I have made this recipe with yogurt and with sour cream. Both versions are fabulous.
I think the reason these banana chocolate chip muffins are our favorite is the consistency. The recipe always turns out great.
