Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups rolled oats until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Whisk in 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk until combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips if using.
  5. Step 5: Divide batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 18-22 minutes until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
