I’m not a huge chocolate muffin fan, but whenever I hear the word “flourless” I just swoon! It’s something about the what the lack of flour does to the texture that I really love. Especially when chocolate is involved! When I found an almost perfect recipe, I knew it was time to try to make muffins for the first time, even though I don’t have my muffin pan yet 
. And let me tell you…. Best muffins EVER!!!!
After making these breakfast cookies I knew that bananas would probably make the texture even better! Not only was I right, but in the end, I absolutely I loved the chocolate banana flavor!
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups oats
3 egg whites
3/4 cocoa
little less than 1/2 cup of applesauce
1 tsp. of vanilla extract
little under 1/2 cup of greek yogurt
1/2 tsp. of cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of sugar
1 banana
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mash the banana.
3. In a blender or food processor, mix all ingredients together except for half the chocolate chips.
4. Place the blended mixture into cupcake liners and bake in oven for 12 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of muffins.
6. Place back in oven and bake for another 4 minutes.
7. Remove and place on rack to cool.
And of course, serve and enjoy! They are quite a bit more dense than the typical fluffy muffin thanks to the lack of flour and addition of yogurt and a banana. But that is exactly the way I like them. Best muffins I’ve ever had in my entire life! So glad they were the first I ever made myself!
