Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

WW Recipe of the Day: Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

With a couple of over-ripe bananas on my counter that I didn't want to waste, I decided it was a good time to do a little baking. And by little, I mean mini muffins!

Mini Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ambitious Kitchen has a healthy banana bread recipe that I knew would work well and taste great.

What I really like about this recipe is that it's not overly sweet, low fat, and easily adaptable to be vegan or gluten-free. Although I generally I don't try to bake vegan or gluten-free, sometimes it's a necessity for friends or family.

I decided to sweeten things up a bit too by adding some mini chocolate chips - the perfect addition to any banana bread or muffin recipe 🙂
