Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffins

That’s a mouthful! And you’ll want a mouth FULL of these banana muffins!

You simply can’t go wrong with a good banana muffin — so here’s a quick recipe to whip up for weekend mornings, weekday morning meal prep, or a whole food snack moment. PLUS it has chocolate, so — it’s even better!

Of course I packed these baked breakfast bites with some filling nutrition in the form of whole grains, healthy fats, and even a punch of protein — totally optional, but I added some unflavored collagen peptides to round out these muffins into a stand alone meal or snack that will satisfy that baked good craving, balance your blood sugar, and keep you full!

I’ll keep it short and sweet, because you need this muffin recipe ASAP!
