Chocolate Banana Nut Muffins

 

Banana Nut Muffins

Oh my, these are so good! It’s hard to believe that they’re grain/flour free and sugar free.

This is not one of my recipes but I thought I would share it with you here so we’ll always know where to find it. I have made a couple of changes to the original recipe which can be found at Tip Hero.

There are many modified versions of banana muffin recipes floating around,  I have 2 – 3 that I used to use regularly. It’s a personal preference of what flavours you like and if you have any dietary restrictions. This recipe uses peanut butter so it would not be an option if you or a family member have a nut allergy but there’s no flour which makes it ideal for people with gluten allergies or sensitivities.

This is such a quick and easy recipe, it’s become a favourite go to for afterschool snacks at our house and once you try it I’m sure it’ll become a favourite at yours too.
