In our house we go through phases – we either really LOVE snacking on bananas or we’re not into them. This week my toddler decided she didn’t really like bananas so we ended up having a bunch of ripe bananas leftover. I love using ripe bananas for baking so we decided to make a batch of banana chocolate chip muffins!


Tools to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are easy to make and use common kitchen tools. You’ll need:
- Muffin Tin
- Cupcake Liners (optional – you can also use cooking spray)
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring Cups and Spoons

Mashing Bananas
The trick to making these muffins is to not over mash the bananas. The mashed banana should still be a little chunky so you get chunks of bananas in the muffin.



Benefits of Palm Coconut Sugar
I’ve recently started baking with palm coconut sugar and have been really impressed with it. It’s a healthier alternative that tastes the same as regular sugar. It’s a 1:1 ratio to regular brown sugar but packs more healthy benefits. A few of the benefits:
- Lower glycemic index
- Less frutose
- High on nutrients
- Not refined
If you don’t have any on hand just swap it out for regular brown sugar at a 1:1 ratio.

How to Store Muffins
Banana chocolate chip oatmeal muffins are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will last up to 5 days.

How to Freeze Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are also great frozen! Store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 5 months. When ready to eat, defrost the muffins for 24 hours in the fridge.
