Mini Banana Bread Muffins

August 21st, 2012

Up until recently, I had to refrain from baking banana bread with any sort of frequency. Since it’s technically made of fruit, I’d convinced myself that it’s appropriate to put away an entire loaf in a day, which is simply not the case. Luckily I came up with a rather simple solution that still allows me to make one of my favorite baked goods (with dark chocolate chips, naturally), but in a more manageable size for those of us who struggle with portion control. I followed this recipe and found that the miniature muffins not only tasted better, but made for a pretty adorable display at brunch.

    Those look SO good! I also have a problem with portion control, so instead of eating two muffins like a normal person I eat like five or six, ha!

    Whole wheat flour helps to add a good amount of fiber (more filling) or if you are using gluten free flour, flax seeds are a great addition for extra nutrients.

    Also, when your bananas are extra ripe, they are sweeter, and the additional sugar really isn’t needed (especially when you add chocolate chips, which are a delicious compliment) This makes for much fewer calories! This way, so you can enjoy more than one and not feel guilty :)
