Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
These muffins are moist goodness. The bananas add sweetness but do not overpower the chocolate taste. You can feel good about packing these in your child's lunch box. I have even put frosting on one to send as special treat when I know my daughter needs a replacement for a birthday cupcake. We also enjoy them in the morning, sliced in half, and filled with a layer of almond butter. Freeze and pull out as needed.
Ingredients
Preparation
- 2 cups mashed banana (Use mixer to puree before beginning and then set aside.)

Additions

- Use your 1/4 measuring cup to fill cupcake liners.
- Bake for 18-25 until firm to touch.
