These Chocolate Banana Muffin Bites are moist, soft and packed full of delicious fresh banana flavour with a subtle hint of chocolate. This recipe uses only 100g sugar and I made 38 of these!! I also used cocoa powder instead of chocolate as cocoa powder contains less than 55 calories, plus 0.1g of sugar, whereas a 100g Bar of chocolate has 482 calories, and almost 50g sugar! Big difference.
Not forgetting that bananas are amazing for you. Everyone knows that, which makes this a bit more nutritious! Look, I know these aren’t exactly the most healthiest things.. but they are so much more healthier than some of my recipes.. oops!
