Happy Sunday!
Are you looking for a fun healthy treat to make ahead for the week?
How about some kick ass banana bread muffins?
I had a crew coming over to film yesterday morning so I made a huge batch of these for everyone.
I wanted to make a really healthy, super delicious, banana bread muffin. I found a traditional recipe and switched it up a bit by making it gluten free and using coconut oil and coconut yogurt to make them nice and moist.
Since all good banana breads have chocolate in my books, I added a chopped up bar of my favourite chocolate from France for sweetness.
These babies smelt just like banana bread and taste great!
They made for a great breakfast yesterday along with some homemade granola, fruit and yogurt!

yum! these sound wonderful. love that you made them with yogurt. i usually make buttermilk to make with, but have started trying yogurt again.
The yogurt kept them so moist and the texture was really good on these! Let me know if you try
. Thanks for stopping by ladies!
That sounds like the kind of banana chocolate muffins I would love to bake and eat! Wonderful recipe, I will make it with regular yogurt instead! Looking forward to baking this on the weekend!
Regular yogurt will work perfectly, let me know how you like it and what chocolate you use
I agree…chocolate is essential in banana bread…I love to add walnuts too!
