RECIPE: Chocolate Banana Oat & Yogurt Muffins

These tasty muffins are a perfect sweet treat when you feel like indulging but don't want to go overboard. Each muffin has just 110 calories and contains lots of healthful ingredients.  (Recipe yields 12 muffins.)

INGREDIENTS: 
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned or quick)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, mini or regular
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Lightly spray muffin pan with oil.  Set aside.
  3. Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a blender or food processor and process on high until oats are broken down and batter is smooth and creamy. 
  4. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  5. Pour batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each cavity until it is about ¾ full. Optional: sprinkle a few chocolate chips or coconut chips over the top of each muffin.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops of your muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before removing. 
  7. Store in an air-tight container for up to a week.
