To begin making Microwave Banana Chip Muffins I dumped some granulated sugar and margarine into a large mixing bowl.

After creaming together the granulated sugar and margarine with an electric hand mixer, I added in two large eggs and some vanilla extract.

I used the electric hand mixer again to beat the ingredients until they were light and fluffy.

Next I added in some mashed banana and some yogurt (I used dairy free).

I quickly used the electric hand mixer to integrate the bananas and yogurt.

After the bananas and yogurt were combined I measured in some Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Then I used a large wooden spoon to stir in the dry ingredients just until they were combined.

Next I folded in some semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Once the chocolate chips were folded in, I scooped the batter into muffin pans that I sprayed with cooking spray. I did not use the center holes.

I placed the pan in the microwave and used Power Level 8 (my microwave is 1200 watts) for 5 minutes.  The second batch was only 5 muffins so I cooked them for 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

After removing the muffins from the oven I flipped them onto their sides.  You could transfer them to a cooling rack as well to finish cooling.

Microwave Banana Chip Muffins are a tasty snack option for the gluten intolerant or even for those who can ingest gluten.

In no time at all you can have a delicious snack for your next tea or coffee break.

These moist muffins are loaded with banana and chocolate chips and are a great recipe to try the next time you have bananas going to waste on your counter!
