Chocolate Banana Muffins
These healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins (Recipe ⬇️) are so yummy that I had a hard time getting people to quit eating them before I snapped a picture. 🍌 🍫
These muffins are a chocolate version of my healthy whole-grain banana muffins. I started with an NYT @nytcooking Whole-Grain Banana Yogurt Muffins recipe and have tweaked it over time to be even better.
I added 1/4 cup each of cocoa and natural almond butter (from @crazyrichardspb) along with a cup of dark chocolate chips from @ghirardelli to my version banana muffin recipe.
