I have a thing for muffins. Egg muffins, oatmeal muffins and now banana muffins. I am not sure if muffins are really my thing or more the ability to easily take muffins on the go as breakfast or  a quick afternoon snack. Here is a great Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe that is Flat Belly Diet Friendly.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 3 teaspoon canola oil
• 1 egg plus 2 egg whites, beaten
• 1/3 cup nonfat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup uncooked quick oats
• 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (MUFAS)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix all the dry ingredients (omitting the oats) in a large bowl
3. Add all the wet ingredients (omitting the bananas) to the dry mixture
4. Add the mashed bananas and oats to mixture and fold in
5. Line muffin tin with muffin liners and spray with nonfat cooking spray
6. Fill cups about 2/3 full
7. Bake for about 30 minutes. Insert toothpick, if it comes out dry then they are done.

Makes about 12 muffins.
