On-the-Go Recipe: Greek Yogurt Chocolate Banana Muffins

Muffins are my go-to on-the-go breakfast or snack for my family. They’re easy to whip up and my kids love them, especially when there is chocolate involved! These chocolate banana muffins are a family favorite of ours. They’re filled with wheat flour, Greek yogurt and no refined sugar. Best yet, my 2- and 5-year-old love to help make them!
