Ingredients

3 ripe bananas- my bananas had lots of dark spots on them this is perfect because they are extra sweet, naturally
½ cup vanilla or plain flavored Greek yogurt
1 whole large egg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup honey slightly melted
½ cup brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons melted butter cooled
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped almonds plus extra to sprinkle on the tops of the muffins (optional)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, mash together the bananas until they are chunky with a whisk. Add in yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, honey, brown sugar and butter. Whisk together until everything is combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda just until combined. Pour in the banana mixture and stir until all ingredients are combined. Add in the chocolate chips or almonds. The batter will be light and fluffy. It will be the consistency of cake batter—it will also smell sweet! Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
Line a 12 muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease the muffin tin. Spoon in the batter into each muffin hole. These muffins will rise a bit but don’t be shy about filling the batter almost to the top. They won’t rise over too much. Sprinkle a pinch of chopped almonds or chocolate chips onto each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until muffins are a golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!
