Chocolate and Bananas? Bananas are often not considered to be a good choice when living a sugar free lifestyle. However, this is the case mostly because they are high in sugar and easy to over eat because they are convenient (easy to throw into a workout bag) and are known as healthy. The key is to only eat a small amount. These muffins are the perfect solution to get in just the right amount of probiotic loving banana without the blood sugar impact. Did I mention they are delicious too?!
