Check out Mrs. Richie’s very own yummy muffin recipe. Try it and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Mrs. Richie says: This recipe came about because I had two overripe bananas. I searched for a recipe online to incorporate bananas into a muffin and where I could use some leftover dark chocolate chips.  I added the oats to increase the fiber content.  

Ingredients: 

2 cups all-purpose flour 

1 cup granulated sugar 

1 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda 

½ tsp kosher salt 

2 Tbs cocoa powder 

½ cup old fashioned rolled oats (soak in 2 Tbs of hot water, to soften oats) 

1 large egg 

½ cup vegetable or canola oil, you can also use coconut or avocado oil  

½ cup plain yogurt (I used vanilla yogurt) 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 cup (2-3 mashed) overripe bananas 

1 cup dark chocolate chips  

Directions:  

Pre-heat Oven to 350 degrees 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt.  

In a small bowl mix together egg, oil, yogurt, vanilla, bananas and water-soaked oats. 

Add the eggs mixture to the flour mixture and then fold in dark chocolate chips, scoop into prepared muffin pan, baked approximately 20-25 minutes.
