Even though these muffins are limited ingredient - they are so good! The ripe bananas add the perfect amount of sweetness. This recipe is so easy and made in one bowl with ingredients you probably already have!

Recipe FAQ
Since these only have a few ingredients they will not be as fluffy as regular muffins. That being said they are still delicious.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Add enough milk so the batter is stirable. This will vary slightly due to the size/moisture content of your bananas but the amount will be between ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon and ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons.

Hi , Can we add maple syrup for extra sweetness. If yes, then how much?
Kristi says
You can sub out some of the milk for maple syrup or honey, so if you add 2 tablespoons of maple subtract 2 tablespoons of milk from the recipe.
Christine says
These were amazing! I added walnuts also in addition to the chocolate chips & they turned out so good! Will definitely be making these again!
Kristi says
Thank you christine!
Lena says
Can I add protein powder to this recipe? If so should I add more milk? Thank you
Kristi says
Hi, I think you could sub out an equal amount of the oat flour (ie 2 tbsp oat flour for 2 tbsp protein powder) for protein powder but I have not tested this.

Added blueberries instead of chocolate chips. So yummy, hard to believe they're so simple and healthy. Good job!
Kristi says
Thanks Tina!

I added about a tbsp of almond butter, a dash of apple cider vinegar and little baking soda and they rose very nicely and came out deliciously 😊
Mine took about 20 min though
Kristi says
Thanks Jay!

I love this recipe! It's so simple and satisfying when I'm craving sweets. As stated in the recipe, the only added sugar is in the optional chocolate chips! Love that my sweet tooth gets a healthy treat! I have made this recipe multiple times and it is a hit with my children!
