This past October, we got passes to Cornbelly’s which is a local corn-maze and outdoor activity place. The entire theme of Cornbelly’s was the minion movie. They had people dressed up like minions and that quickly became the toddler’s favorite part of the whole place. He was completely obsessed with them and spent more time trying to give them high-fives than playing on all the attractions.
As a result of that month of high fiving and hugging the people dressed up as minions, he has become completely obsessed with them. He currently has four large minion toys (some stuffed animals and the others dance/sing). He saw the minions movie twice in the theaters, has a minion toothbrush and toothpaste, 😖 minion water-bottle, and now owns the minions movie.
And not only did he become obsessed with minions, he also became obsessed with bananas. Since the minions love ’em, he has to love them too I suppose. Except I don’t know if he actually really likes them because he will beg and beg for a banana and then eat one or two bites and then give it to me to eat.

| GREEK YOGURT CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS HEALTHY RECIPE |
INGREDIENTs
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour, or plain white flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup miniature dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 cup bananas, extremely ripe (2-3 bananas)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Generously coat a muffin tin with cooking spray and then dust the cavities with cocoa powder. These muffins stick to muffin liners so I do not recommend using them.
- Remove 1 tablespoon of the 1 cup of flour.
- In a small bowl, toss together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and both types of chocolate chips. Stir.
- Make sure your bananas are at their very ripest (black skins are best; see post to speed up the ripening process if not all the way ripe.) Remove the skins and mash the bananas extremely well.
- In another bowl, briskly whisk together the egg and Greek yogurt. Stir in the melted coconut oil (slightly cooled, but measure in it's melted state),vanilla extract, brown sugar, and the extremely ripe mashed bananas.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until JUST combined. Over-mixing results in denser muffins.
- Separate the batter evenly among the 12 cavities or fill up 9-10 for extra large muffins.
- Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of a muffin.
- Allow to cool and then remove from the muffin tin. (Use a butterknife to cut around the edges and help pull them out!)
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
- When ready to enjoy a muffin, microwave for 15-20 seconds. Spread with peanut butter if desired!
NOTESThe dark chocolate chips is purely for a healthier option. If you don't like dark chocolate feel free to use milk chocolate or semi-sweet -- whichever you like best!
