Double Chocolate Banana Mini Muffins

When the craving for chocolate hits, it's hard to stay healthy and still satisfy the craving. These double chocolate banana mini muffins give you the chocolate you want without all the calories (each muffin clocks in at about 60 calories). The bananas and lower amount of sugar keep them healthy, too, and give you a bit of energy to keep chasing the kids.

They go fast once baked, so you may want to freeze some to eat when the kids aren't looking to they don't eat them all before you get any. Since they're bite-sized, it's easy to pop one in your mouth before the kids start clamoring for one of their own. Or so you can actually eat something before they start screaming and getting into everything. Since all the ingredients can be dumped together then mixed, it's a quick recipe to whip up when you have brown bananas that need to be used.

If you prefer a little less chocolate, try my chocolate banana mini muffins. For just a hint of chocolate, my banana chocolate chip muffins hit the spot.

Chocolate Banana Mini Muffins

Chocolate and bananas. A delicious combination. This recipe makes a delicious half-and-half blend of chocolate and banana flavor. If you prefer a stronger banana flavor with a hint of chocolate goodness, you'll prefer the banana chocolate chip muffins I shared before. For an extra decedent recipe with double chocolate, check back tomorrow for my double chocolate banana mini muffin recipe.

The muffins are soft and fluffy, a yummy blend that totals around 55 calories each. I end up eating about four for a filling breakfast, which would be the size of one of those large breakfast muffins. These are about half the calories, though, and not nearly as full of salt, sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. Since all the ingredients can be dumped together then mixed, it's a quick recipe to whip up when you have brown bananas about to go to waste.

Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Around here, I always stock up on bananas. Baby B eats them daily. Sadly, sometimes they go brown way too quickly, leaving me with a pile of bananas I either have to toss or use for baking. M2 and I are usually not fans of banana muffins or bread, so the recipe has to be exceptional for use to eat them. My banana chocolate chip mini muffin recipe hits the spot. Even making 72 at a time, these little suckers don't last long.

This recipe creates light, fluffy moist muffins with the right amount of banana flavor and a dash of chocolate to top them off. No dense, dry, overly sweet or overly banana tasting muffins here!

Simple and quick to make, it's essentially a "dump muffin" as all the ingredients but the chocolate chips can be added in any order then mixed together.

The bite-size muffins are a great breakfast, snack or dessert. Each clocks in at about 50 calories, so they aren't too high in calories or unhealthy, either.

Stop by tomorrow for my chocolate banana mini muffin recipe and on Thursday to find out how to make double chocolate banana mini muffins.
