HEALTHY CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS

Want chocolate and a muffin and not feel guilty? These Skinny Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins are made with oat flour, bananas, chocolate chips and walnuts for crunch. Make these for breakfast, dessert or a snack all year round.

I didn’t think there was such a thing as a healthy muffin, especially a chocolate muffin! These Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins are made with only a few ingredients and are so delicious. They are also gluten-free that happened accidentally because I ran out of flour and had oat flour, which is a new favorite of mine!

Chocolate Banana Muffin

These take no time to whip up and you just need a mixing bowl, whisk and spoon. That is all, no need for an electric mixer! That is a win for me.

These muffins are extra delicious when served warm, like right out of the oven. The chocolate chips through out get slightly melted and will melt in your mouth.

Breakfast never tasted so good with these muffins!

Can I omit the cocoa powder?

No I wouldn’t because the chocolate makes these extra rich and delicious! Chocolate and bananas make such a great combo!

What if I don’t have any bananas?

If you don’t have bananas or don’t like bananas you can use applesauce instead! I would use 3/4 cup.
