Easy Banana Bliss Muffins

The best kind of muffins take just a few minutes to throw together, are made with all real food ingredients, and taste super yum as well. These beauties tick off all the right boxes!

Here is a great GO-TO banana muffin recipe that you probably have all the ingredients on hand for and works every time. Remember that the riper and mushier your bananas, the better, so wait until those old bananas are right brown and gross looking because that’s when they’re the sweetest and BEST for baking with! Although I have used spelt flour in this recipe, you could absolutely make them gluten-free by substituting your favourite gluten-free flour blend.

Potential add ins: chopped walnuts, raisins, and hemp hearts.

Chocolate brownie + granola bar.
It just happened.
And it is fabulous!

This is a dense bar that’s perfect for an active day on the slopes, snack attack in the kids’ lunchbox, and a long day’s work in need of an afternoon pick-me-up! Loaded with mineral rich cacao powder, blood sugar stabilizing dates & oats, full spectrum amino acid hemp hearts, extra protein in almond butter and chopped almonds, and intensified in taste by dried cranberries and shredded coconut, I’m not convinced that this bar is missing anything! Except maybe some warm bellies 😋

As always:
