Let’s make our Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

In a bowl, mash bananas with masher or fork and make banana puree. Prefer to use overripe Bananas to enhance the taste.

Add oil and sugar. Mix it well until sugar dissolves. I have used organic brown sugar for this recipe. It is healthier than refined white sugar and will give a nice color to the muffins.

Add vanilla essence, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder. Mix it. Adding spices like cinnamon and nutmeg is completely optional. I love cinnamon not only because of its flavor but also for its health benefits. If you want, you can skip these.

In a separate bowl, take whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift all the dry ingredients together. Whenever you are baking cakes and muffins, it is important to sift all the dry ingredients.

Sifting will break the lumps, if any, and aerates it at the same time. When flour is sifted with other dry ingredients, it helps to combine them evenly. When a recipe calls for sifting, then don’t skip this step.

Now gently fold all the dry ingredients into wet ingredients and make a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.

Add milk to the batter and make the batter of pouring consistency. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 180 °C. Take a muffin tray and arrange muffin liners into it.

Fill each cavity up to ¾. Sprinkle Chocochips and bake these at 180 °C for 20 minutes.

Once done, take out the muffin tray from oven. Place all the muffins on a wired rack and let them come to room temperature. Well, I like to have muffins the moment they are out from the oven.

Healthy Eggless whole wheat Banana muffins are ready to serve. Enjoy these any time of the day without having any guilt. Healthy sweet muffins for those who have that sweet tooth. Your kids will love eating them and you will be filled with joy seeing your kids eating healthy.
