Growing up, my mom made banana bread on a regular basis. I loved the way the house smelled when banana bread was in the oven! I have modified the recipe to make banana bread muffins with chocolate chips and fresh milled flour.
Why You’ll Love These Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Making banana bread or muffins is a great way to use up leftover bananas that have gotten too ripe for eating. I keep a stash in my freezer when I’m ready to whip up banana bread or muffins. The flavor ripe bananas give to banana bread or muffins is delicious! Pro tip: Never substitute firm, barely ripe bananas. The flavor just won’t be the same.
Use Fresh Milled Flour for Maximum Nutrition
To start, you are going to need to mill some soft white wheat berries. Soft white wheat berries are better for muffins, quick bread, and cookies because they have less protein than hard white wheat berries. This means your final product won’t have as much gluten and will be softer in texture.
Ingredients for Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips
- Fresh Milled Flour (can substitute organic all-purpose flour)
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Butter
- Organic Sugar
- Egg
- Bananas
- Unflavored Protein Powder (optional)
- Chocolate Chips
How to Make Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Put 1 ½ cup of freshly milled flour in a bowl along with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Melt ¼ cup of butter on the stove. Put this in your mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of organic sugar and cream together. Next, add 1 egg and 3-4 ripe bananas and mix in.
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Add 1 scoop unflavored protein powder ( I like Paleo Valley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein) and ¾ cup chocolate chips to the batter and mix in.
Line your muffin tins with unbleached muffin liners. Spoon the batter in until the muffin cups are 2/3 of the way full.
Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

When done, let cool on a wire baking rack. I like to serve these muffins along with scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage.
