Fabulous no fail recipe!
On hand I made this with pantry ingredients
I substituted
Frozen banana (360g) thawed
maple syrup for vanilla as we were out
Half half butter and coconut oil because again we only had a smidge of coconut oil left
Nesquick instead of cocoa (you guessed it - we were out)
And a kinder chocolate square in each as we didn’t have chocolate chips
And they’re SENSATIONAL
Thank you x a million. Lovely lunch box treats (if they last that long).
Katrin says
Been making these couple years now and just thought I'd take a moment of gratitude. They are amazing. I cannot wait until they cool down i already need one. It is so fluffy and delicious. My kids love it and i pack it for my lunches. I have never got to the freezing part yet as they are gone within couple days.
Lucy says
Fantastic!!
Liese says
Very nice recipe, loved by my little boy. I used 90g of plain yogurt and they turned out good, and baked in fairy cases so got double the amount. Much better size for kids though!
Mel k says
Awesome recipe thank you!!! Soo yum an very quick & easy 🙂
Praise says
Hi, can i replace 70g of coconut oil with 70g of butter for this recipe? I read in your other post, Banana Oat Muffins that we could do that.
Tash says
Yes, that would be perfectly fine 🙂
Katrin says
Been making them few times and absolutely love them. I love the texture and flavour is sooooo yummy
Astrid says
Can I freeze these?
Tash says
Yes 🙂 You can freeze them in an airtight container or in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.
Jess Hitchcock says
Absolutely delicious ?
Wlo says
Can I use frozen bananas instead?
Lucy says
Absolutely!
Judy says
Lovely recipe, thank you
Virginia says
Could you use a dairy free (coconut) yoghurt in replace of the Greek yoghurt?
TJ says
Wonderful recipe. Makes a nice moist muffin. I replaced the honey with coconut sugar and it was fine. The only thing I would suggest if you are making them for lunchboxes is to put all the choc chips in the mix and none on top. While that makes for pretty photos, it results in messy ziploc bags!

Hahaha great tip!!
