Hello! I am so excited to be posting today on Alex's blog. My name is Becky and I blog at Love to be in the Kitchen. My blog focuses on quick, easy and budget friendly recipes. Here are some of my favorite recipes I have shared on my blog. I made up both recipes too!
And sometimes I share crafts too! Like these Mickey Mouse Invitations.
Today I am excited to share with you one of my favorite
muffin recipes, Healthified Banana-Chocolate Chip Muffins. I love to
wrap these individually and freeze them for a quick snack.
Not only are these muffins delicious they are healthier
than most muffins. It has a lot less fat and calories than your average muffin.
I found this recipe on eatbetteramerica.com. They
have a lot of healthified recipes where they make a recipe much healthier but
still very tasty. I made these for my dad because he loves anything
with banana in it . He loved it and called me to thank me. My kids love these
too! It has plenty of banana flavor but not too much. It had just enough
chocolate and the tops had a slight muffiny crunch to it.
Mmm!
Right before you put them in the oven, you sprinkle on a
mixture of sugar and cinnamon. I only used 1/2 the mixture. It adds a nice
touch to the top.
I hope you try these, they
are so amazing!
