Skinny Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Skinny Double Chocolate Banana Muffins – Made with whole grains, flaxseed, Greek yogurt, and dark chocolate, you will love this healthier delicious treat.

So yes, I will admit that these Skinny Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are only another reason I am recently addicted to healthier muffin recipes. I honestly did think it could get much better with my recipes for Blueberry Banana Muffins or my Healthy Banana Chocolate Chips Muffins but I was wrong. Granted all three recipes are amazing but you add double chocolate to anything, well let’s get real chocolate gives everything a leg up.

I didn’t really make muffins until this school year. I stumbled into muffin making when I was trying to find a treat that my kids would love and not complain about, yet still make with whole grains and maybe a few other things, like flaxseed that they wouldn’t really notice. I love these muffins. My son, Madden, aka picky eater, hates dark chocolate and I didn’t think he would notice but he did. So his request is to next time just make chocolate banana muffins sans chocolate chips. I said deal and now you know what I am doing today.

Now the rest of the kids devoured these. In fact, Jojo ate one on the way to dance praising me the whole time – YAY – mom win! And Jersey along with two of her friends ate them on their way to yoga and Zumba class. I love my gym as they offer kid classes which are included in my membership. So every Monday night they have yoga from 4:15 to 5:00 pm and then Zumba from 5:05 to 5:45 pm. During this time I run, stretch and lift weights. Two hours at the gym and I don’t feel one bit of mom guilt.

I honestly can’t figure out why I feel guilty headed to the gym when my family is awake. Literally, if I don’t make in the early morning or while the kids are all at school, I don’t go because I feel bad. Now you would think because all 5 of my kids are in school that I would have all this “time” to head the gym. Well, friends blogging is a full-time job, as is being a mom, wife, housekeeper, chauffeur and everything else that we do as women, spouses, and moms. So funny that I thought getting to the gym would be easier when all the kids were in school. Really I just need to find a routine that works for me. And I am still in the process of finding that. Frustrating for sure, but I will soon find a groove I am hoping.

But here is one thing I know, I will love having these Skinny Double Chocolate Banana Muffins and I won’t feel all too bad. We have cut out desserts at night completely except on Sunday. And our after school snacks are fruits, veggies, hummus, mashed avocados and once in a while these Skinny Double Chocolate Banana Muffins. As they don’t just make a delicious snack but breakfast as well.
