Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
We've had an over abundance of bananas lately from our trees and I needed to find some ways to use them so that they wouldn't go to waste. I froze a few gallon sized Ziploc bags full for smoothies, but there's still so many left over, and more will be ready soon. We decided to make a healthier version of our usual banana bread. The recipe we normally use calls for vegetable oil and a packet of instant pudding. While it's the best banana bread I've ever had, I wanted something healthier. I couldn't find the perfect recipe online, so I found a base recipe and changed it up a bit Keep reading...
