You know you really like something when you find yourself craving it just by seeing a picture.
These muffins have been saving my mornings (and afternoon snacks) lately! I’ve been trying really hard not to snack on super sugary things, but honestly, that’s all I’m craving lately. This schedule of baby napping-feeding-trying to do things in the house while I can is so overwhelming. Overwhelming in the BEST way, but overwhelming regardless.
So having something – anything – that’s easy to grab is kind of necessary. Fresh fruit, nuts, trail mix, cookies, and these muffins have been keeping me sane. And….sometimes they fill in as lunch if I just can’t make anything that requires 2 hands.
But these muffins!
They feel so indulgent, but are really pretty good for you!
I use all whole wheat flour, and the they’re chock full of banana, healthy oil, and maple syrup as the sweetener so you’re not getting pumped full of sugar with these.
Plus, the chocolate I use is 60% dark (my favorite for baking), which means it doesn’t make me start craving more like milk chocolate does.
Fluffy, light, and just sweet enough. You can’t get any better than these!
Or, if you can, feel free to mail me a dozen. I’m always in need of extra food around here.
These muffins have been my saving grace lately. They're perfectly soft, light and fluffy, and full of banana flavor and melty dark chocolate pockets. There's just enough chocolate to make these feel a little indulgent, but they're completely whole wheat, so it all balances out.
