​These may just be the best damn muffins you've ever tasted! 

​This recipe is based on a chocolate banana loaf recipe I found. I couldn't resist tweaking the recipe to make it a bit healthier. I replaced regular flour with 100% whole wheat and cut the sugar but half, replacing it with natual yogurt.

​These muffins are chocolatey, moist and delicious. It's hard to have just one!
