1 cup White Wheat Flour (all-purpose Ok)
1/2 cups Oats (I Used Old Fashioned Oats; You Can Use Oat Bran Too If You Like)
1/4 cups Almond Meal (ground Or Finely Chopped Almonds)
2 Tablespoons Wheat Germ (optional, But If Not Using Just Replace With An Equal Amount Of Flour)
1/4 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt (or Any Salt)
1 Large Egg
1/4 cups Low Fat Buttermilk (or Skim Milk)
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
6 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt (or Regular Plain Yogurt - I Used Fat Free Greek Yogurt)
1/4 cups Honey
2 Medium Bananas, Very Ripe, Peeled
2 Tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips (if Desired)

1
Preheat your oven to 350u00b0F (175u00b0C). Prepare a 12-count standard muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or with lining with paper liners (recipe makes 11 muffins).
2
Combine all of the dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl (flour, oats, almond meal, wheat germ, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) and whisk to combine.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients (egg, milk, vanilla extract, yogurt, honey and bananas). Mix to combine.
4
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Do not over-mix. Stir in mini chocolate chips at this stage, if using.
5
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins and bake at 350u00b0F (175u00b0C) for 18-20 minutes.
6
Remove pan from oven, remove muffins from muffin tin and place on a cooling rack or eat immediately.
7
Tip: When bananas go brown, just toss them into the freezer (peeled or unpeeled) where they'll stay until it's time to bake these muffins or banana bread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
