Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins

Read Reviews (18)

"Moist muffins with just the right combination of banana and chocolate chips. A healthy alternative to most banana chocolate chip muffins, this one uses oats and substitutes apple sauce instead of cooking oil!" — Nichole

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
Stir whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and chocolate chips together in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until frothy; mix applesauce, skim milk, and banana into eggs. Pour moist ingredients into well made in dry ingredients; stir just to moisten. Batter will be lumpy. Fill prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of several muffins comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

I replaced the sugar with splenda and a little honey. I also replaced the chocolate chips with blueberries and coconut. Very moist and tasty. Will make again.

This recipe tasted like wall paper paste muffins. It did not sound like a very flavorful recipe so I added cinnamon, nutmeg, some brown sugar and decided to trust the high ratings. So sad it was not something I can rate highly. The two rating is only because one person at my house liked them.

I made this recipe, but accidentally used 1/2 cup of milk instead of 1/4 like the recipe called for. They turned out perfectly! They were moist and delicious!

Very tasty...added 1/4 cup flaxseed in place of 1/4 cup wheat flour. Healthy!

These are really good. I was a little worried that they would be too dry, but they weren't. I love that they have a good amount of protein and fiber and they are tasty. My 5 year old loved them too. I used the mini chocolate chips instead of the regular chocolate chips and doubled the recipe. It made 26 muffins. I'm going to try to individually freeze them to have for an easy breakfast. Thanks for sharing!

I made this per the recipe. I thought it was lacking something. Maybe salt? Maybe vanilla? Overall a good texture, but I just thought it was missing a little something.

Good texture, but I like my muffins a little sweeter. I left out the chocolate chips.
