Ingredients

• 4 small overripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups flour (all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided (optional)

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted butter and eggs. Whisk to combine. Add the sugar and vanilla. Stir to combine.

3. Slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
4. Fold in a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and the walnuts, if using. (Instead of semisweet chocolate chips, you could use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips, if preferred. Instead of walnuts, you could use pecans.)
5. Evenly spread the batter into a muffin pan that's been sprayed with cooking spray, noting that each muffin cup should be filled only three-quarters full.
6. Spread the remaining chocolate chips across the tops of the muffins, if using.
7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 to 22 minutes (muffins should pass the toothpick test).
