5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
Not overly sweet but totally packed with rich chocolate flavor, these muffins beg to be devoured with a cold glass of milk on standby.
Light and airy and yet somehow totally decadent. I guess chocolate for breakfast can be nothing if not decadent.
I vow to treat myself to this kind of breakfast more often. Chocolates makes me happy and the earlier in the day I can have it, the better.
This recipe makes twelve muffins and they keep amazingly well. I had a few tucked away for a treat and three days later they were still perfectly moist (thanks to those bananas and applesauce) and utterly delicious!
