These are the best banana chocolate chip muffins with honey! I make a lot of banana baked goods because we always seem to have a few brown bananas. I also try to make my baking a bit healthier when possible. If I can, I enjoy using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. They add flavour and they also have extra nutrients in there. This simple one bowl banana muffin recipe is easy, and takes under 30 minutes from start to finish. Fresh baked banana muffins in the morning are the best. These chocolate chip banana muffins make an easy snack and pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee!

How to make these banana honey chocolate chip muffins?
This simple one bowl muffin recipe comes together super quickly.
Preheat the oven to 350° and line a 12 cup muffin tin with parchment cups. You can also grease the cups if you don’t have paper cups.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl. 3 medium bananas made 1 cup of mashed banana.
Next you want to add in the olive oil, honey, eggs and vanilla and then whisk it all together until it’s really well combined.
Now add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix until just combined and then add in the chocolate chips and fold those in.
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin. I like to add a few chocolate chips to each muffin top.
Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Store them in an air tight container for up for four days!
