These Gluten and Refined Sugar Free Skinny Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are the perfect healthy treat for any time of the day. Made with ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, and a touch of coconut sugar, these muffins are not only moist and delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients. The Greek yogurt not only makes these muffins tender and flavorful but also boosts their protein content, making them the perfect satiating snack. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a snack on the go, or a guilt-free dessert, these muffins have got you covered. They are gluten-free and refined sugar-free, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions, and you can easily make them dairy-free by using coconut oil.

 

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1.5 cups)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (or 1/4 cup softened butter/coconut oil for dairy-free option)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups (200g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) coconut sugar (any sugar will work) note: use 3/4 cup if you like a sweeter muffin. 
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup (85g) chocolate chips  (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with parchment paper cups.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until you have 1.5 cups. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (or butter/coconut oil) until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, coconut sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture and stir until the batter is fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  5. Transfer the batter into the parchment-lined muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or a bit of coconut sugar on top if desired.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (about 90% clean). Adjust baking time based on desired moistness.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
