Fluffy Milk Chocolate Banana Muffins - soft and delicious muffins made with mashed bananas, whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt. The addition of milk chocolate chips adds sweetness!
FLUFFY MILK CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS
Maybe it's just me but seems like bananas get over-ripe faster during summer than winter. So what do you do when you have a bunch of spotted bananas sitting on your counter and your kids won't touch them because... you know... they are too mushy? You make muffins. The fluffiest, packed with bananas and sweetened up with chunks of milk chocolate muffins. Another family favorite is this recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Peanut Butter Banana Muffins. I reduced the amount of all-purpose flour, reduced the sugar, butter, added Greek yogurt and packed them with bananas. Your kids will love these muffins because of the bananas and milk chocolate, without complaining about the whole wheat flour. That's right. I skinny-fied these babies!

Oh yes. Sometimes I actually get excited when bananas get too brown. It's rare they make it that far in our house, and I know there's a delicious treat waiting on the other side when they do!
