How to Make Healthy Greek Yogurt Banana Oat Muffins

PIN IT

1. Preheat & prep
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin—feel that cozy anticipation!
2. Mash bananas
   In a bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth with a few soft chunks. The smell is heavenly, right?
3. Combine wet ingredients
   Stir in Greek yogurt, honey (or maple), egg, and vanilla until creamy and inviting.
4. Mix dry ingredients
   In another bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine.
5. Combine wet & dry
   Pour dry into wet and gently fold until just mixed—don’t overdo it or they’ll be dense.
6. Add chocolate chips
   Fold in chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top for visual delight.
7. Fill muffin cups
   Divide batter evenly (about ¾ full). Top with reserved chips—look at that sparkle!
8. Bake
   Bake ~18‑20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool & enjoy
   Let muffins cool 5 minutes before lightly removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or room temp!

What to Serve with Healthy Greek Yogurt Banana Oat Muffins

• A cup of frothy latte or herbal tea
• A side of Greek yogurt with fresh berries
• A smoothie—banana, spinach, and almond milk make a natural pair
• Great on-the-go with a handful of almonds or a protein smoothie

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Overripe bananas (dark spots, very sweet) = best flavor
• Measure oat flour accurately—spoon into the cup and level off
• Don’t overmix batter—fold until lumps disappear
• Make-ahead: Batter can rest in fridge overnight; bake fresh in morning
• To freeze: Bake, cool & freeze (wrapped). Thaw at room temp or gently warm

Storage Instructions

• Room temperature: Store in airtight container up to 2 days
• Refrigerator: Good for 4–5 days
• Freezer: Store up to 3 months—wrap individually, thaw or microwave lightly before eating

General Information

Banana and oat combos are common in USA home baking for quick, healthy treats. Greek yogurt adds moisture and tang just like the muffins from my Nonna’s kitchen with a modern twist!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, swap 1:1 with AP flour but flavor will be slightly more conventional.

Can I make them refined sugar-free?
Absolutely—use honey or 100% maple syrup as instructed.

Are they vegan if I substitute egg and yogurt?
Yes! Use flax egg and non‑dairy yogurt for a vegan version.

Can I halve the recipe?
Yes—bake in a small loaf pan for ~25 minutes at same temp.

Why are mine dense?
Probably from overmixing. Mix just until dry ingredients are absorbed. Overripe bananas help lighten texture.

Can I double the batch?
Yes—bake two trays, rotating halfway through.
