TIPS FOR MAKING A HEALTHIER MUFFIN
I love bread in all forms. The problem is there are a lot of undesirable ingredients in many bread and muffin recipes.
Over the years I have tried out a lot of different methods to make healthier muffins so I would feel less guilty eating them!
Here are some easy tips and swaps to make muffins more nutritious.
- Use mashed ripe fruit to sweeten the muffins to limit the amount of sugar needed.
- Reduce the oil or eliminate it totally by using applesauce or yogurt instead.
- Use a smaller amount of chocolate chips. They still taste great, but you save calories and sugar.

STEP ONE: PREPARE OATS
Start off by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray your muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or use cupcake liners or silicone muffin cups.
Put 1 1/2 cups of oats into a blender or food processor. Blend the oats until they are a flour-like consistency.
STEP TWO: MAKE BATTER
Take a large bowl and add the ripe bananas. Mash the bananas up until smooth.
Add the eggs, brown sugar, yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients until well-combined.
Now add in the ground oats, remaining cup of oats, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Mix these together and then allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes.
STEP THREE: ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Once the batter has rested, fold in the chocolate chips.
STEP FOUR: FILL MUFFIN PAN
Now spoon the muffin batter into each muffin cup.
You can sprinkle some additional oats on top if desired.
STEP FIVE: BAKE
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan and then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.
