Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins

This guys are easy, healthy, gluten free, and no added sugar. Literately, throw all the ingredients into a blender and ZOOM – you’ve got the batter. Mix in the chocolate chips and you’re ready to bake.

Sometimes if I start the day off with something super sweet and chocolate-y, I seem to want sweets ALL day. Maybe that’s a personal problem – or maybe you feel me, but either way – these muffins are just lightly sweet and lightly chocolate-y. I just don’t want anyone to be fooled. While they look like you’re biting into a brownie, it most certainly is just a well balanced blender muffin. <I dig it. But didn’t want to mislead anyone!>

Nothing like sinking your teeth into one <or two> or these bad boys first thing in the morning. Top with anything you’ve got that looks delicious to you and ENJOY!

How-to-Use

Athletes: Grab a muffin for a pre-run snack or 2 for a bedtime snack or one as a pregame to dinner.... basically, eat whenever you are hungry!

Healthy Eating: Each muffin is a well balanced snack to keep you fuller, longer between meals. (1 muffin = 20 gm carbohydrates, 5 gm protein, 5 gm fat) Use as a snack or pair with Greek yogurt or hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

Kids: My kid approved of the top half of the muffin where most of the chocolate chips resided before she got ahold of it. But really, a few chocolate chips never hurt anyone!

 What the muffins look like after a two year old eats the top off for the chocolate chips…. not quite as appetizing! Sweet of her to put it back on the board for photos though.
