Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Muffins are the perfect little pick me up snack after a workout at the gym, day of work or after school snack. A delicious combination of bananas, pumpkin with little tasty bites of chocolate chips. Although an optional ingredient is chocolate chips. Did I say optional? I made these with chocolate chips however, you can leave them out if you want. Needless to say, these are quick to make and disappear almost as fast.
Sometimes we all want something quick and tasty to feed our families. If you have never had bananas and pumpkin before than you are in for a treat. Indeed if you are a chocolate lover the chips just bring these muffins to another level altogether. Of course, what’s better than chocolate?
Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Muffins
You may be thinking why bananas? Well, I had brown bananas and wanted to use them up. Since I had already decided to make pumpkin muffins it was a no brainer to add them to the muffins. Plus by adding the bananas I no longer needed any oil. Thereby, making them healthier. I mean, chocolate chips will make any muffins yummy.
In fact, simply combine wet ingredients with sugar then combine dry ingredients. And lastly, combine wet and dry. Read my blog posts on Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Sweetener Information if you are not familiar with these ingredients. Needless, to say you can purchase Unsweetened Coconut Milk, Maple Sugar, Organic Pumpkin, Monk Fruit Sweetener, Cassava Flour, Almond Flour, Aluminum Free Baking Powder, Lily’s Chocolate Chips stevia-sweetened, pink salt, 24 cup mini muffin tin all on Amazon.
