Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Optional: chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove, and add it to the mashed bananas along with the plain Greek yogurt. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using optional chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this point.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
