My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
As you already know, I am slightly muffin obsessed if you have been following along with me for a while.
While I am not about to eliminate sugar, I will start giving some of our favorite recipes a healthy facelift.
This recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins has some extra protein from the Greek yogurt and is naturally sweetened with honey and bananas — okay, plus a few chocolate chips because chocolate chips make everything better.
After trying these, you’ll understand why they’ll become an after-school/afternoon treat when you or others get a little sweet tooth and need something to kick the craving. They’re still packed with delicious flavor, and of course, I add flaxseed as a healthier alternative (but no one needs to know about that).
