My roommate bought me a Rachel Ray GIANT muffin pan for Christmas, which I LOVE! So, I started giant muffin making of course. :)
This was one of the 1st recipe's I came across that so
unded delicious and since we are both trying to stay on a healthy diet, I thought it might be perfect.
They were good, but you could tell they were the "healthy" version. I would probably change the semi-sweet chocolate chips to milk chocolate chips, but that's just me. (I don't typically prefer semi-sweet chocolate. And/or dark chocolate...i prefer milk chocolate.) I always share what I make with a dear close friend of mine and she absolutely LOVED them! So, Enjoy!
85% less sat fat • 66% less fat • 38% fewer calories than the original recipe. Peel away fat and calories with this healthified take on a classic. More banana for natural sweetness and whole wheat flour makes it better than ever!
