Okay, I am a believer in trying to eat healthfully… getting lots of veggies in with healthy proteins and all.  However, I’m also a big believer in the fact that food is meant to be enjoyed (I’m seriously good at enjoying my food).

So when I looked up recipes for banana chocolate chip muffins (they just sounded yummy), I found a recipe that was ranked 5 stars.  Thinking I hit the jackpot I opened the recipe and began to read, then reread.  I’m puzzled.  Where’s the fat?  I looked at a few of the reviews and read, “Finally a healthy muffin that tastes great.”

Well the minute I read “healthy” I was out.  Sorry (not really), certain foods are meant to have fats and baked goods are one of them.

These are warm and delicious; moist with strong, yet balanced, flavors.  I accidentally used three bananas instead of two (I have a big problem with not reading recipes carefully).  I also chose to make gigantic muffins instead of regular sized.  No reason, just wanted to play.

Super simple and fairly quick recipe for a lovely Sunday morning.  Enjoy!
