CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Sharing is caring!

These moist and tasty Chocolate Chip Muffins are not only gluten free but they can be classified as vegan since no eggs or dairy products have been used.

Oh and did I mention they’re also sugar free!  Utilising the ripe bananas and the apple makes them naturally sweet.

These Chocolate Chip Muffins are super quick to make and healthy too.  All you need is a food processor to mix the ingredients and an oven to bake them.

So there’s no excuse for not preparing healthy snacks for yourself and your family.

I have used dark chocolate chips in this recipe however they are just as tasty mixing in dried cranberries or dried blueberries if you don’t want to use chocolate.  So it’s up to you and your taste buds.  Get creative!

Combining the apple with the bananas makes these muffins so much lighter rather than using just bananas. 

Note:  Don’t expect them to rise with the bi-carb soda so make sure you fill up those patty cake tins!

Who said being wheat & dairy intolerant needs to be boring and missing out on yummy snacks?
