Banana Chocolate-Chip Mini Muffins

_______________________________________
prep: 20 min | bake: 18 min | serves: 36  

  • Cooking spray 
  • 250ml (1 cup) light vanilla yogurt
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) skim milk
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) uncooked quick oats           
  • 2ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 large banana, mashed
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) unpacked brown sugar
  • 10ml (2 tsp) baking powder
  • 2ml (1/2 tsp) baking soda 
  • 2ml (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) mini chocolate chips, divided 
Preheat oven to 190*C (375*F). Coat mini muffin tray with cooking 
spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, milk oats, vanilla extract
and egg; set aside 5 minutes for oats to soften and then stir in banana.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking
soda and salt. Stir flour mixture into yogurt mixture to moisten ingredients
(do not beat - the batter will be very thick). Reserve 15ml (1 Tbsp) chips;
stir in remaining chips.

Spoon batter by heaping tablespoons into prepared muffin tray; sprinkle
each with a few reserved chocolate chips. Bake until golden brown and
a tester inserted in centre of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.

(For fun, I added in some white chocolate chips too!) Bon Apetite!
