Skinny Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hi friends! I’m finally back in Chicago after two weeks of travel and am SO excited to get back in the kitchen and develop summer recipes for you. In fact, developing creative, healthy recipes is my favorite part about my job. It’s where my mind works it’s magic the most and often when I feel most fulfilled. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to bring you delicious, nourishing recipes for you to share with your friends and family. It just makes my heart happy.

Speaking of healthy recipes, these banana muffins were a blissful experiment that came to life back in 2013. They were the result of me always trying to make something new for my mom for breakfast. I used to make her muffins every week so that she could bring them to work and these healthy banana muffins became one of her favorites in the entire world. We’d make them together, often adding in heart-healthy toasted walnuts for a dose of healthy fats. To this day, they still make an appearance in my kitchen every month or two.

Safe to say my muffin obsession started with these babies. They’re packed with protein thanks to greek yogurt and are naturally sweetened with only honey and bananas — okay and a few chocolate chips because chocolate chips deserve to be in every diet out there.
