Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hi friends. What a day over here. Everyone talks about the 2s being rough, and I hate to scare anyone, but the 3s are the real deal. (My mom also said to watch out for the 4s, haha.) While there is way more *good* than tough over here, not every day is rainbows and acai bowls. ? After some quiet time together, time outside and chilling, everyone is doing much better. 

We also made some muffins. Baking is a real form of therapy.

Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

When we got back from vacation, we had some perfectly browned bananas. We actually took them on vacation with us, and brought them back, haha. I’ve found that the poor bananas have been neglected lately in favor of summery fruits like peaches, plums and apples. 

Don’t worry bananas, you still have purpose.

The bananas in these muffins give them a majority of their sweetness! Just mashed bananas, a little bit of maple syrup, chocolate chips,

Chocolate chips

and they’re a perfectly sweet little snack. 

Here’s the recipe if you’d like to give them a try!
