I was in a muffin baking kinda mood and I realized I didn’t have just a simple oatmeal chocolate chip banana muffin. I was also in chocolate kinda mood haha and I wanted these muffins to be filled with chocolate chips, not have fewer chips than I can count on one hand 😉 These oatmeal chocolate banana muffins are delicious, big and fluffy and filled with lots of delicious chocolate with every bite! Makes 12 muffins at just 4 smart points each on WW freestyle.

These sound scrumptious but dealing with banana allergy. Anything I could substtitute?
Bananas make up a big part of the recipe so I can’t guarantee the same outcome if you do replace but substitutes could be more apple sauce, pumpkin
How do you think these would work using Swerve brown sugar instead of regular brown sugar?
If you like swerve then I think they will be fine, I have never used it so I can’t give an honest answer sorry
Made these last night, delicious!!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
I made these today but replaced the chips with pecans (just because I don’t usually like fruit and chocolate together). They turned out amazing. Thank you for the recipe.
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
These look like something my very picky teen might eat. Is there anything I could do to increase the protein? Thanks.
Hi Traci, I bet you can sneak in some protein powder if you want, just leave a little flour out in replace of it
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was just the right amount of sweet. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed them 🙂
