Moist, delicious, fluffy, healthy and most importantly… easy! Who doesn’t love a good muffin?! Amiright?! These one-bowl whole grain banana chocolate chip muffins are a recipe you’ll keep coming back to.

Who doesn’t love a good muffin?! Amiright?! I always make sure to have a batch or two on hand for busy mornings, school lunches and after-school snacks. They are the best – especially when there are chocolate chips involved!

I played around with this recipe and tested it a few times until it was perfect. It’s not often that you create a muffin recipe made with 100% whole grains (rolled oats or oat flour and whole grain flour!), but also soft and fluffy.

I also wanted to minimize the added sugar, so added lots of ripe bananas (along with a small amount of maple syrup) instead. My favourite part? The fact that I made the entire double-batch recipe in ONE BOWL.

This is music to any busy parent’s ears, right?! Minimal clean-up and 24 delicious freezable school-safe muffins? Yes please!!

Ingredients

6 large ripe bananas or 7 small, mashed
4 eggs room temperature
2/3 cup melted coconut oil
2/3 cup almond or coconut milk
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups rolled oats ground
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F and grease two muffin tins.
In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients (bananas, eggs, oil, milk, maple syrup, vanilla) and whisk well.
Add baking soda, cinnamon and salt and whisk again.
Add ground oats and flour, and fold in until almost blended. Add chocolate chips and fold everything until just blended (don't over-mix).
Transfer muffin mix into muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place in oven for 20-22 minutes (you'll know when they're done by pressing in the middle gently, and the muffin bounces back).
Remove from oven, allow to cool, and enjoy!
