Banana Oat and Chocolate Chip Muffins
I always seem to have a stash of frozen peeled over ripe bananas in the freezer for smoothies and muffins. I like to use the food processor for the bananas so I get a real smooth texture in the batter. These muffins are 200 calories each with 5 grams of protein.
