Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins – healthier banana muffins made with whole wheat flour and honey. Tender, moist, and actually pretty good for you!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

It is common knowledge by now that I like muffins, and I like to try to make things just a little bit healthier.  That is where these chocolate muffins come in.  I know you are saying to yourself; “chocolate muffins, healthy?  Yeah right!”  Just hear me out!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These banana chocolate chip muffins are full of whole wheat flour.  They are sweetened with honey and the natural sweetness of the banana.   And you get chocolate for breakfast, which I know is a good thing for most people. Mini chocolate chips are used here, so you use fewer of them, but still get them in each bite!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I made these while my 7 year old was at school. He came home and immediately wanted one for an after school snack. He said it just might be his new favorite muffin. I asked if he was sure, because Chocolate Chip Muffins have always been his favorite. He said these have more chocolate, so he thinks they might be his favorite. Can’t argue with that, can you?

  3. These sound great! I love making healthy treats for my kids. They so often want what’s bad for them that it’s nice to be able to give them something healthy that they thinks is bad. And I can snack on them too!!!

  11. We are on the same wavelength, I posted chocolate muffins today too! Mine are decidedly unhealthy though 🙂 Love these, I can’t seem to use brown bananas fast enough around here.
