Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins

Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins

Hi friends! Happy Labor Day! Coming at ya a day later because I’ve been down the shore this weekend with friends. We typically have a group of girls and guys that head to Ocean City Maryland for Labor Day Weekend and this one was no different.

It was a fun weekend and I already can’t wait for next year’s trip. I’ll share more about my trip later, but if you haven’t follow my Instagram account yet, be sure to do that. I always update that account and share little videos of what I’m doing on my stories.

Speaking of Instagram stories, I shared these Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins on there a few weeks ago and had an overwhelming number of people ask me for the recipe. I typically bake something about a month ahead of time before it gets posted, and I felt bad making everyone wait but let me tell you – these are worth it.

Continuing the saga of “Erin has too many ripe bananas” I knew I wanted to make a decadent but still healthy treat that could be eaten for breakfast. In my eyes, decadent means chocolate so I knew it would be chocolate based. I’ve also wanted to experiment with using Greek yogurt in baking because I know that adds a super awesome texture plus added protein.

I really loved the way these turned out with the addition of Greek yogurt and would highly recommend them to anyone. I also used dark chocolate cocoa powder but you can use regular for a less chocolatey taste.

I taste tested them, then my boyfriend did, and so did my best friend/roommate and they both gave the seal of approval so I took them to a coffee date I had with the owner of Franklin and Whitman, my favorite skin care company. We always do an exchange of goods, ha!

Let me know if you give the muffins a try and be sure to tag me on Instagram if you do.

Sharing is caring!
