What are the ingredients?

Oat and rice flour: I wanted to mix 2 flours together this time, I think rice flour gives more lightness and airiness, but you can only use oat flour. You can make the oat flour by yourself just blend the oats in a food processor or blender.

Ripe bananas: The perfect ingredient for baking muffins. Ripe bananas giving both the sweet taste and the texture of a muffin you need.

Greek-style or vegan plain yogurt: Try to use yogurt without flavor and sugar to avoid sweetening muffins with unnecessary unhealthy sweeteners.
You can choose any of your favorite yogurts – vegan, lactose-free, greek style, and plain.

Honey: This is one of my favorite healthy and natural sweetener, but you can also replace it with agave or maple syrup.

Baking powder and baking soda: These ingredients will help muffins to rise, stay puffier, and more visually beautiful.

Coconut oil: Helps muffins stay moister and softer.

Blueberries: You can use large blueberries or wild blueberries, as well as any other berries.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Super easy Healthy Chocolate Muffins are soft and fluffy, they are perfect snack in every occasion. They also are refined sugar-free, oil-free and white wheat flour free – easy, healthy un delicious dessert.

I have been a muffin lover from childhood and I’m very happy that nowadays there are so many options how to cook them much healthier.

I used oat flour, it’s my first choice from healthy flour. I used my favorite natural sweetener honey instead of sugar to get them sweeter, but the ripe bananas also give a very sweet taste. The mashed banana also makes them moist and soft, ripe bananas are a very popular ingredient in healthy baking.

I’m lactose intolerant and I always use lactose-free products in my recipes, mostly plant-based. This time I used soy milk, but the recipe will work with any other milk as well.

You need 10 ingredients and 40 min of your time and you will get healthy and tasty muffins. Muffins are a great snack in several ways – for breakfast, as a dessert, when going on a hike, as well as a delicious gift when visiting friends or family.

Healthy Chocolate Muffins are:

Soft and fluffy
Chocolatey
Easy to make
Healthy
Lactose-free
Nut-free
Refined sugar-free
White wheat flour-free

Tips to make these delicious and Healthy Chocolate Muffins:

I used vegan sugar-free chocolate, but chocolate chips also will work. You can mix the chocolate pieces into the batter if you want to get a more chocolatey version. You can melt the chocolate and cover the muffins with it. This could be the dream version for chocolate lovers. 🙂
Don’t over mix the mixture, that could make it dry and heavy.
This is one of the important rules, use only the very ripe bananas.
You can use other plant milk as well such as soy, oat, coconut etc. Pay attention to whether it’s sweetened or not to understand out how much sweetener you need in total.
My best combination of flours are 100g oat and 50g buckwheat flour. You can use only oat flour as well.
Make your own oat flour, take a food processor or high-speed blender and blend oats until you get the flour. Use only the wholegrain oats.
Use runny or melted honey.

How to store them?

You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days and in the fridge up to ~ 1 week.
