INGREDIENTS: (makes 12 Muffins)

-2 Medium Ripe Bananas-Mashed

-2 large Eggs

-1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

-2 cups finely rolled oats

-1,5 tsp baking powder

-1/2 tsp baking soda

-1/4 cup brown sugar

-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

METHOD:

Mix all the ingredients and add the dark chocolate chips last.  Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius or until golden brown 🙂

Because these muffins don’t contain any preservatives, it is best if you eat (or devour 😉 ) them within 3-4 days-they of course the best during the first two days after baking.  Enjoy them as a post-workout snack to re-fuel after an intense workout, enjoy two muffins for breakfast with a cup of coffee (A.K.A a cup of pure love), or pop them into your lunchbox as a healthy snack when you are on-the-go!
