Banana Me Crazy Muffins
These muffins will drive you crazy they are so good! Adding in the oatmeal, coconut oil and flax seed makes them a delicious healthy alternative. Add in some butterscotch chips if you want...
One of my favorite flavor combinations are that of orange and chocolate, dark chocolate. It beckons me back to the holidays when candied dip oranges were dipped in chocolate and given out as treats. These morning muffins will bring those combinations to the breakfast table for all to enjoy anytime of the year.
