So easy! Firstly, start with mixing your eggs, honey, greek yogurt, mashed banana and some almond/soy milk. Secondly, sift your dry ingredients over the wet ones.

Now I have used a combination of white whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. Certainly you can use whole wheat flour in addition with all purpose flour or even all white wheat flour .

Finally add your chocolate chunks, pour them in the muffin tray, top with more chocolate, bake and top with even more chocolate! Seems like you get my point!

That’s the way I did it. And see the result. ⇓⇓⇓ Certainly charming! Charming right?

    I keep meaning to make sometime with bananas but they never last long enough in my house, my kids eat them before I get to bake with them 😀 These look really good, I might have to hide some bananas in the back of the fridge.
