Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins #dairyfree #eggfree #nutfree

banana chocolate chip muffins sliceLRMuffins are a staple breakfast item in our home. Tasty, and perfect with a glass of non-dairy milk. They’re also great as an after camp snack with a dollop of melted Sunbutter. I make a big batch, freeze, and zap one or two at a time in the microwave for 15 seconds or so before serving.

The natural sweetness of the bananas and the richness of the chocolate chips make them rather decadent, so I used less sugar than many other recipes I’ve seen (some have so much sugar that I would classify them as a cupcake rather than a muffin).

My son, who doesn’t have food allergies, loves these. Serve them to your non-food allergic friends and they will be surprised they are allergen free!
