Today I had some ripe bananas laying around and spontaneously started making up a recipe. It was actually a lot of fun measuring out what I thought would seem like a good amount for a tasty muffin I could enjoy throughout the course of this week. However, I LOVE almost any type of muffin so I decided to make three different types from one batter! Oh let me also add that I wanted these to be healthy meaning NO SUGAR, NO BLEACHED FLOUR, and can easily be made into a VEGAN or GF option. I wanted to be able to enjoy these muffins for breakfast every day without feeling guilty. Below are your ingredients. Do whatever you think sound the best to you! If you only like blueberry try blueberry! If you’re a chocolate feign then I HIGHLY suggest you sprinkle some dark chocolate chips in through the muffins. Either way, do you. Enjoy these breakfast muffins and let me know they turn out.
Ps: I topped my with dollop of (Earth Balance) peanut butter while it was still warm and the peanut butter almost melted right off…..talk about AMAZING!!!
