Chocolate for breakfast? Yes, please!

As I was writing the banana chocolate chip muffins post last week, I realized there was an opportunity to bring these to the next level. Introducing…

Healthy Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins.

Can I get an Amennnn!?!

Double the chocolate, double the deliciousness, and double the health! Wait, double the health?

These muffins are secretly skinny, healthy and completely butter-free, gluten-free and just so happen to be dairy-free, too.

May I also touch base on my mini muffin issue? I just love them; love baking them and, more importantly, love devouring them. I can’t promise my mini muffin obsession is over. I just can’t.

Making these normal or mini chocolate banana muffins

Hello, my fellow mini muffin lovers. I am happy I am not alone in my love for tiny little morsels of delicious muffins.

If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, no worries. By the time we are finished with this post, I predict you’ll want to join the mini muffin pan fan group.

If for any reason you are not yet convinced (like, you put off purchasing a mini muffin pan because it’s just another item in the kitchen to store and you hate spending money on something so unnecessary), honestly, I understand you.

These can be made in a normal muffin pan, just be sure to bake a bit longer until a toothpick comes out clean.

It’s like this: The smaller portions allow me to eat more. As I unwrap each double chocolate muffin, I realize how many I’m actually eating.

It’s a mind game of portion control.

Chocolate explosion, friends. *emphasize on* For breakfast!

Yeah, these Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are one for the books. Bare with me as I explore my new-found love of muffins again.

Makes it much easier when I’ve found a gluten-free flour blend I love. It’s called Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.

But I’m giving you the opportunity to eat healthy double chocolate chip banana muffins . . . for breakfast! *Again, emphasizing we can eat these for breakfast!*

Have a fabulous morning, my lovelies–with chocolate. 😉

Meanwhile, as I devour these healthy chocolate chip banana muffins FOR BREAKFAST, I’m in a chocolate dream. It’s like having a mouthful of something so rich, decadent and moist.

It’s like this picture below.

      I apologize Sarah, recipe seemed to of glitched! I’ve corrected the recipe. Baking time for the mini muffins is 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Hope you enjoy them!

    Hello! just made these little muffins, and they are delicious for being so healthy! I was just wondering where/how long I should store them to keep them fresh?

      So glad you enjoyed them! 🙂 Definitely store them in an airtight container. Anytime I cook with bananas I like to personally store them in the fridge since they are always so moist. They last about 4-6 days in the fridge.

    I made these last night and they were good enough to make again.🤣. I used 1/2 the flour just because I just didn’t want my batter super thick and they still turned out good. I’m new to eating better and watching my sugar so thank you for this recipe!!!
