Easy for Kids to Make
These are so simple, even big kids can make them with just a little help. My kids love picking the ingredients and microwaving their own muffins in just one minute. It's a fun, hands-on way for them to "cook" with minimal mess and effort.
Safety First: Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug—some can crack under heat. I learned that the hard way! Also, remind kids to use a potholder when removing their mug from the microwave, since it can get pretty hot.

★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
The minute muffins as super simple, made with just 6 ingredients.
Here's a look at everything you'll need:
- Banana. You'll mash it, so an overripe one works great!
- Baking mix. I use Bisquick.
- Instant oatmeal. Plain or any flavor you like will work and will add sweetness.
- Milk. Cream or half and half will also work.
- Honey. Sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar or brown sugar can also be used.
- Chocolate chips. I like mini chips but any size can work.
★ Tips & FAQs★
Did you know chocolate is actually pretty healthy?! In general, dark chocolate that’s at least 60% cacao is the healthiest type of chocolate for you. In fact, dark chocolate is allowed on many specialized diets in certain quantities. A very small portion of mini chocolate chips is called for in this banana chocolate chip minute muffin.
Therefore, if you want to use dark chocolate chips, the amount should be well within the parameters of most diets that allow it such as Keto. If you're dealing with picky eaters though, again, the amount is so small, that regular chocolate chips aren't going to change the nutritional value of these muffins all that much.
You can make your own baking mix with 3 cups flour, 1½ tablespoon baking powder, ½ tablespoon salt, and 8 tablespoon cold butter. Mix and store in the fridge or use right away.
