Whole Wheat CHOCOLATE BANANA Muffins | with Yogurt

These wholesome Muffins has the goodness of Wholewheat, Bananas and Yogurt. The slightly gooey chocolate banana muffins with yogurt are worth every bite. You will find it hard to believe that it is made from whole wheat.

I have a picky eater in hand. At home, it doesn’t matter as much, since he is not allowed to get up from his chair until he finishes his food and the no iPad blackmail always seems to work. The real problem I have is with his lunch box. My heart sinks when I see that he has not touched his lunchbox and knowing that he has not eaten anything from the moment he was out of the house makes me worry.

Muffin is something which I have seen him finish. That’s when I realized I could substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat, throw in some bananas and make it little healthier. It’s really hard to tell that these chocolate banana muffins are made from whole wheat until someone mentions it.

The whole wheat apple muffins and orange muffins with real orange juice were made for Nivaan’s school too. The Orange muffins have always been a big crowd pleaser.

These whole wheat chocolate banana muffins with yogurt will make a perfect lunch box or a grab and go snack.

The classic banana muffins with a thick streusel topping is good for those not very fond of chocolate flavor (Yeah! People like my mom who don’t like chocolate do exist 🙂 )

These chocolate banana muffins are an excellent way to use overripe leftover bananas too.

The moistness comes from banana, yogurt and brown sugar. The chocolate chips add the gooeyness.

When you divide the batter into a standard 12 cup muffin tins, it will be about 3/4th full.

Garnish with some more chocolate chips. The mini ones look even better. After all the expression ‘ You eat through your eyes’ is certainly true.
