Sunshine Honey Banana Muffins

I'm excited to post this recipe! These muffins were so yummy and moist.  I made them into mini muffins so I could grab a few on the go for breakfast.  They remind me of those bags of Hostess mini muffins.  I used to love those as a kid.  They melt in your mouth instantly…but they're super unhealthy and have all kinds of crazy ingredients to make them that consistency. 

These banana mini muffins have no sugar, only organic honey and whole wheat flour.  I also added some Chia seeds for added fiber, Omega 3 and protein.  This was an easy swap  since they're tasty and filling.  They were also a great way to get rid of our brown bananas!  

 

The day I made these, sunshine was pouring in from our windows.  It's been so refreshing walking into my kitchen in the morning and seeing the sun flood the room.  I'm so thankful for warm weather.  Summers in Chicago really are the best.  With the winter we recently had, I'm set on making the most of the warm weather!  I hope you get a chance to make these healthy banana muffins! Enjoy :)
