Banana chocolate chip muffins FAQ:

What is the baking time for banana chocolate chip muffins?

Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). They're done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How should I store leftover muffins?

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I substitute the whole-grain wheat flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute. Be aware that this may slightly alter the texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of Greek yogurt?

You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, applesauce, or even mashed avocado, keeping in mind that this may change the muffins' taste and texture.

How do I know when the muffins are done?

Muffins are done when they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Avoid any wet batter on the toothpick.

Tips:

- Make sure your bananas are ripe as they will provide more natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.

- Fold in the chocolate candies gently to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can add an extra tablespoon of honey or more stevia leaf sweetener.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack, which helps prevent them from becoming too crumbly.
