BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS (HEALTHIER!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 muffin pans (or line with paper liners)
• To a large bowl add mashed bananas, sugar, oil, yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
• Whisk in baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
• Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir in flours, ensuring even distribution without overmixing. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
• Divide batter between 20 muffin cups -- they will be almost full to the top. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out dry or with moist crumbs.
• Let cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. If using paper liners, you may need to let cool for several hours before you are able to remove them cleanly.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
