These Healthy Strawberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins are packed full of oats, banana, greek yogurt and honey and take just a couple of minutes to whip up in a blender or food processor.
If there’s one type of food that I know is sure to go down a treat with my kids it’s muffins; soft and sweet and cakey, I know exactly why they love them so much! But with traditional recipes containing lots of unhealthy fats and refined sugar, I’ve been experimenting with making some healthier versions of our favourite muffin flavours, starting with Strawberry & Chocolate Chip today!
These muffins are still made with wheat flour but I’ve also included some rolled oats in there to help keep little tummies fuller for longer. I’ve swapped butter or oil for greek yogurt and instead of using refined sugar, these muffins are sweetened with banana and honey. All in all these muffins make a really great afternoon snack for kids. I also have to admit to having them for breakfast too on really hectic mornings!
As well as being healthy these muffins are super easy to make. Simply chuck all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and let the machine do all the hard graft!

These Healthy Strawberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins are packed full of oats, banana, greek yogurt and honey and take just a couple of minutes to whip up in a blender or food processor.
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 200g / 1.5 cups plain or all purpose flour
- 50g / 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 200g / 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1 medium banana
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 125g / 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 50g / 0.3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c / 390f.
- Place all the ingredients except the strawberries and chocolate chips in a food processor or blender and blitz until the mixture is smooth. Add in about 3/4 of the strawberries and chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
- Line a 12 hold muffin tray with paper cases and spoon the mixture into the cases (you should be able to make between 10 and 12 muffins depending on their size). Add the remaining chopped strawberries and chocolate chips on top.
- Bake the muffins in the oven for between 15 and 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clear.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin or on a wire rack before serving.
How should I store these? In the fridge? They’re in the oven cooking right now and they look YUM. Making them for my daughters 1st birthday tomorrow:)
Yep in the fridge and they’ll last for several days!
Anyone used GF flour?
GF Flour will work just fine in these!
Can I use goji berries instead?
Yes you can!
Really tasty. Myself and the kids finished them off in 2 days!

Love that I can make these in the blender, brilliant. Really tasty as well.

I would probably avoid using liners altogether, as I too had issues with the paper liners sticking to the muffins. I had let them cool completely before trying the peel them. Pity really as the flavour of the muffins are delicious!
Is there nutritional information for these? I would like to make them, but need to know that so I can work them into my diet. Thanks!
I don’t calculate the nutritional info myself but if you put the ingredients into an online calculator it will tell you everything you need to know!
I made these today in paper muffin liners and they stuck to the liner. Next time I will not use liners. Otherwise good. The higher heat of 390 actually was good for me as my oven is slow and usually have to add another 5-10 minutes to a recipes!

Thanks Linda. I find that if you leave the to cool completely the cases can be peeled off easier but perhaps I should mention that maybe silicone cases would be better. Thanks for the feedback!
Just FYI that 180C is actually more like 350F. I made these last night and my family devoured them this morning.
Before the recipe the article says these are made with wheat flour but in the recipe it says plain or all purpose flour. Can wheat flour be used?
Thanks!
Hi Eileen, plain or all purpose flour is wheat flour. I think you might be confusing it with whole wheat flour. You can use this but it will give the muffins a denser texture which I’m not sure would work very well with the oats.
These muffins look too good. Love that they are made in a blender too – haven’t tried that before.
