At one of our regular mommies and munchkins gatherings, I baked some dark chocolate banana muffins.  The ladies loved them.  Because they are soooo moist and yummy, the ladies all thought they are BAD.

Uh-uh!  There’s no butter.  The bananas made them moist.  I didn’t even put a lot of sugar in them.  In fact, the batch I made for ourselves contained absolutely NO sugar because we don’t really like sweets too much.  & the bananas, once again, added enough sweetness.

Another versatile recipe you can play with!  I mixed in almond flakes, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes for this batch.

You’re welcome!

& ma beloved mommies from Baby Time, thanks for your friendship and here’s the recipe!  =))
