File this under the many things I like to eat that contain bananas! I love bananas and seriously have a half one every morning with almond butter before I start my workout as it is an instant energy booster. Bananas also have a high fiber content which means they will keep you fuller longer and lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
They are also powerhouse of nutrients containing manganese, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and B6. These all contribute to the proper functioning of the body and keeping you healthy. Potassium to help regulate your heat rate and blood pressure and iron to help with anemia…just to name a few awesome reasons why you should bananas!
The beauty of this recipe is that it all goes into the blender – yup only need 1 mixing tool so easy clean up! I used a food processor but I am sure a blender will do too. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides. You can fold in the chocolate chips at the end or mix them in all together either way works I believe. After they are well blended just pour the batter into a well greased muffin tin or you can use liners as well.
