Directions:

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees.
  • Coat muffin pan with cooking spray (make sure it is down well as the muffins will stick to the pan)
  • Mash the bananas and combine with the almond milks, and eggs.
  • Mix dry ingredients together (except the chocolate chips) and add to banana mixture.
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir until blended thoroughly.
  • Scoop evenly into muffin pan and bake for 25 minutes.

These muffins are good to freeze.  I usually pull one from the freezer before I leave for work and it is thawed by the time I am ready for my snack.

Happy eating!
