By using honey instead of adding sugar, this bread is enjoyable without being too sweet. That’s right, no added granulated sugar!

How To Make Naturally Sweetened Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

Skip To Condensed Recipe Card

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mash bananas in a medium sized bowl until uniform. You can also do this in a stand mixer.

Add butter and honey, whisk together. Add the eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix until well combined.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour and chocolate chips until just combined.

Scoop batter into greased muffin tin. I prefer mini muffins, but mini loaves or regular sized muffins will work too.

Bake mini muffins to 10-11 minutes. Regular muffins or mini loaves might take closer to 20!

Freezing Naturally Sweetened Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

At our house we keep the freezer stocked with this stuff! Since it’s just my husband and I, we don’t finish these in a day or two. No big deal, because they freeze and reheat as good as new.

To freeze these Naturally Sweetened Banana Bread Muffins, store them in a freezer safe Ziploc bag. You can wrap them in cling wrap to keep them apart, but I usually just put them in the bag loose once cooled.

When I don’t want to whip up a complicated dessert or just need something sweet after dinner, I put a few muffins in the microwave with a damp paper towel and 45 seconds later they’re as good as the day I made them!

No Muffin Pan?
