Tradition tells us that chocolate and peanut butter go well together and that peanut butter and bananas go well together, but we rarely put them all together. The natural sweetness of bananas, the richness of chocolate, and the creamy nuttiness of peanut butter make this a combination you won't soon forget.

While these Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins aren't totally free of sugar, they are sweetened with bananas and honey only. Each muffin has about 1/2 tablespoon of honey and 1/4 of a banana, which is significantly less sugar than average store-bought muffins.

These little treats are great for a fruit and protein filled breakfast on-the-go, or as a tasty dessert.
