These muffins turn out to be 6 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per muffin. If you don’t care about making them light, add in a few more chocolate chips!
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are on the lighter, low fat side of things, but still packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 medium very-ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup nonfat milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat regular-sized muffin tin with cooking spray (or line with papers).
- In a large bowl, mash bananas with fork. Whisk in egg, milk, and sugars.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet mixture and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spoon equal amounts of batter into 12 muffin cups. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Why is it important to use the miniature chocolate chips? They spread out more... giving more chocolate flavor to more parts of the muffin. I always find that using regular-sized chocolate chips in a muffin is just a little too much.

I have these baking right now….but I subbed Swerve natural sweetener for the sugar and Lily’s dark chocolate chips so they came out to 2 points per muffin!!! Can’t wait to try in the morning!
I’ve been using this recipe for a few years now, and I just wanted to say thank you! These muffins are amazing. I still can’t believe there’s no butter or oil!
Is this recipe for the mini muffin cups or full size? Thanks!
Regular- size.
I made the muffins today, but unfortunately they are like chewing gum… what could I have done wrong??
I’m not sure! Must have made an error in measuring or accidentally left something out? They shouldn’t be like chewing gum…
Honestly the BEST banana chocolate chip muffins I’ve EVER HAD!!!
I’m obsessed with them. The chocolate chips are a perfect addition to them.
So moist and sticky and totally full of flavor!
