I wanted to make chia banana muffins as I got inspired to a chia muffin I tried when I was visiting New York City. It was so delicious, not sweet, and make with good quality ingredients. I tried to replicate it and this was my first shot. It wasn’t the same at all haha but I will be working on the recipe and to be honest, they are still pretty damn good. My son loved them and so did I. I think next time I will add more flour but honestly they are worth making.

They are very nutritious and can even be eaten for breakfast so if you have little ones at home or children that are picky or not too hungry in the morning, or if you just want a little something for the car ride, give them a try.

They are made with health-supportive ingredients like..

• chia seeds (high in fibre, protein, healthy fats and a variety of vitamins and minerals)
• yogurt (good source of protein and calcium – can be grass-fed plain yogurt or nondairy plain yogurt like coconut)
• bananas (great source of minerals and fibre)
• eggs (awesome source of proteins, minerals and healthy fats)
• coconut oil (great oil with multiple health benefits)

They are super easy to make. Perhaps try to make them on a Sunday so you have healthy muffins for the week. They aren’t too sweet which I like. Make sure to use ripe bananas as they are naturally sweeter and also easier to digest. I added a little maple syrup in the recipe too. You can always replace with honey if you prefer.

Hope you enjoy these chia banana muffins even though they aren’t perfect yet. I will work on the recipe though as I think its a great start for an awesome muffin recipe.

If you’d like vegan muffins, try replace the eggs with flax eggs and use coconut or almond yogurt instead of cow’s milk yogurt.

Alright, here’s the recipe guys.
