Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins



This muffin is somewhat dense in texture, but it is a good breakfast muffin or satisfying snack.
Blend together with a whisk:
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

(Variation-if you want lighter muffins omit the oatmeal and oat bran and increase the flour to 3 cups)

In a separate bowl combine and mix until smooth:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups mashed banana

Measure and set aside 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I like mini chips)







Gently fold the wet ingredients in with the flour mixture, add the chocolate chips when half combined.  Do not overmix, otherwise your muffins will have tunnels.






Fill greased muffin tins and bake at 375 for 25-35 min.

I sprinkled a bit of brown sugar on top.




To make it easier to bake for breakfast, before you go to bed. Measured the dry ingredients together in one bowl. In another bowl measure and whisk together the wet ingredients (and place in fridge overnight).  In the morning, all you need to to is combine the two and add the chocolate chips, fill the greased muffin tins and bake. Of course when you take them out of the oven you must immediately take a warm muffin and ENJOY!
