| Yield: | 12 muffins |
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 medium bananas
- 1/3 cup 2 percent milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment squares so they come up over the sides, and set aside.
- Whisk together the flours, wheat germ, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mash the bananas with a fork in a separate bowl. Stir in the milk and vanilla. With the mixer on low, alternately add thirds of the flour mixture and halves of the banana mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes.

Reviews
Very good for a whole wheat muffin, texture very soft and moist, flavor good and cooked perfectly.
These muffins are Delicious! I didn’t have whole wheat flour, so used all AP and doubled the chocolate chips. Perfectly cooked at 20 minutes So easy and delicious!
Came out really good.
Delicious! I was worried they would taste too healthy with the wheat germ and wheat flour but no way! I’ll maybe add more banana next time is all. Will definitely make them again!
These muffins are hearty and delicious! I used stevia instead of sugar and brown sugar and they came out perfect! My hubby has diabetes, sometimes using sugar substitutes doesn’t work well for baking; not so these! This was a home run!
Delicious and moist especially for a recipe that calls for whole wheat flour. I’m always trying to incorporate more whole wheat and this recipe lets me do it with pleasure. I used ground flax seeds instead of wheat germ because it is what I had on hand. I had never used parchment paper with muffins before; it was more time consuming but led to a nice presentation. My squares were roughly 5 x 5 inches. Give it a try, chances are you won’t be disappointed!
Really moist and tons of flavor.
Easy to prepare and healthy ingredients plus really yummy and kid approved. I couldn’t find wheat germ but I substituted wheat bran. I used regular cupcake liners and baked for 20 mins.
Great, easy recipe to prepare and serve Easter morning, Also uses wholesome, common ingredients, Will definitely make this for my family.
What size are the paper squares?
