Banana Yogurt Muffins

SJG3483's Note:

I had bananas and yogurt in the house, and I wanted to bake some muffins, so I combined two recipes and came up with these moist muffins. Because they have yogurt in them, they have less oil and no butter, making them healthier than most!

Love that these have banana chunks instead of the usual mashed banana! I used whole-wheat flour and added 1/2 t. vanilla extract and a t. rum extract...MMMM! I also threw walnuts on the top so that they would get toasted during baking.

This recipe is awesome, i made it with rasberry yogurt instead of vanilla, and it was great. I was even able to leave out the oil and they still turned out perfectly :)

Delicious!! Had a bunch of plain yogurt I got on sale cheap that needed to be used up and this was perfect. Moist, fluffy, yum! I added 1 tsp vanilla extract to make up for my yogurt being plain. Will definitely be making this one again!
