Looking for a sweet treat that actually supports your fat loss goals? These healthy banana chocolate chip muffins are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats—with just enough carbs to give you stable energy without the crash.

This recipe is a new and improved version of the original banana chocolate chip muffins I posted here (which had eggs!). After making them every single week for over a year and tweaking the ingredients slightly, I can honestly say, this is the best version yet.

They’re rich, satisfying, nutrient-dense, and the perfect treat if you’re working on body composition, blood sugar balance, or just trying to eat smarter without feeling deprived.

Why These Muffins Are Actually Healthy

Let’s be honest, most store-bought muffins marketed as “healthy” are loaded with sugar, refined flour, and very little fiber or protein. That combo spikes your blood sugar, crashes your energy, and leaves you hungrier than before leading you to overeating calories, a bad idea if you are on a body re-composition journey (losing fat and building muscle).

These muffins are different. Each one contains:

✅ 14g protein – to keep you full and support lean muscle
✅ 12g fiber – to slow digestion and support blood sugar stability
✅ 200 calories – perfect for a post-meal treat, or two for a meal replacement, since I don’t condone snacking
✅ 8g healthy fats – for hormones, energy, and satiety
✅ <15g carbs – from bananas and fiber-rich ingredients

They’re also egg-free and easily dairy-free if you sub the Greek yogurt for pumpkin puree!

How These Muffins Fit Your Fat Loss Goals

If you’re on a fat loss journey, you already know:
You need a calorie deficit to lose fat.
But here’s the key: the quality of your calories matters just as much as the quantity.

When your meals and treats are high in protein and fiber (like these muffins), you stay fuller longer, experience fewer cravings, and are far less likely to overeat later in the day. That’s what makes sustainable fat loss actually possible.

No more sugar crashes. No more snacking all day. No more starting over every Monday. Eating in a calorie deficit has never been easier with my tips!

And once you’ve lost the fat? You move into maintenance, where you can keep enjoying satisfying treats like this without stressing over every bite. That’s what I teach my clients inside my 12-week coaching program: fat loss doesn’t have to be miserable. I teach my clients how to eat delicious meals while eating more and still lose fat.

👩‍🍳 Pro tip:

  • If the batter feels too thick or dry after mixing, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of water or almond milk to loosen it slightly.
  • You could also add a pinch more baking powder to keep the muffins fluffy.

  • ½ cup Hu Kitchen chocolate chips

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C)
  2. In one bowl, mix all dry ingredients
