Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe medium banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt, melted oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
