Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose, gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup apple sauce, unsweetened
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 2%
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup mashed ripe/over-ripe bananas About 2 medium-large bananas
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with silicone baking cups (or paper if you don't have the silicone ones.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend the egg, applesauce, Greek yogurt and vanilla together with a wire whisk or fork. Blend in bananas.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, add chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop approximately 2 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick into the centre of a muffin comes out clean and the tops of the muffins are springy to the touch.

Notes

Use silicone muffin liners - or a silicone muffin pan - to have the easiest time getting the muffins out when they're done.
For best results, let the muffin batter sit for about 10 minutes before putting into the muffin tins. This trick works well any time you're baking with gluten-free flour.
