These skinny banana chocolate chip muffins are warm, chocoate-y and lightly sweetened. They are the best on the go breakfast that you could ever ask for. They’re so fluffy and delicious that you won’t even be able to tell that they’re vegan!
Guess what friends? The bananas were on sale at the store the other day and you better bet I took full advantage of 30% off organic bananas and got myself two bags full of them! 🙂
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this on here before but I’m no longer allowed to eat bananas because it’s too “cooling” for my body but my logic tells me that if it’s in a muffin, they are acceptable for consumption since it’s baked in with a bunch of other things which will save me from the effects of the banana.
That sounds pretty logically sound right? Yeah, I thought so too. I mean how could I resist? Banana bread is my favourite baked good ever and this was the perfect opportunity to make them!
Plus, who could resist the smell of fresh banana bread baking in the oven? Well, granted brother deer and Neko probably could because the two of them hate bananas. But no matter, more for me and lil’ bun. 😉
I mean we’re talking about warm, moist and fluffy banana chocochip muffins. What more could you ask for?
