So I tried this healthy version of banana chocolate chip muffins last week (because I gained 2 kgs, thanks to all those decadent double choc muffins, Biscoff French toasts and choc mug cakes that I have been gorging on the past couple of months 😭), and they were surprisingly good!
.
Ok obviously, they’re not as sinful as Starbucks Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin (🤤) but these are not bad at all. At least it satisfies my craving. I don’t know about you, but I am a sweet tooth and it’s so freakin’ hard for me to eliminate desserts in my life, so the only way for me to “survive” is by making healthy version of desserts. Healthy pancakes, healthy waffles, healthy puddings, and now this - healthy muffins! Hehe. And honestly, I think healthy desserts are so much easierrr to make, so that’s a bonus!

This recipe (which I tweaked from glutenfreehomemaker.com) uses coconut flour, coconut oil and honey, instead of regular flour, butter and sugar. Healthy la, kan?
I have never baked or made anything using coconut flour so I was pretty excited to try this recipe coz I love anything coconutty. I’m sharing the recipe here so that I can refer it back, coz I’m definitely gonna make them again. My boys loved these!
