  • 2 cups oats, quick cooking or old fashioned
  • 2 large bananas, very ripe
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place liners in a standard muffin tin and lightly grease them.
  2. Place everything but the chocolate chips in a blender or food processor. Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until the batter is smooth and the oats have broken down; about 3 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  3. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  5. Store at room temperature for up to four days.
