BANANA BREAD MINUTE MUFFIN Let’s cut to the chase. 3 Ingredients. 2 Steps. 1 Minute. Ingredients How to make BANANA BREAD MINUTE MUFFIN The nutritional profile is pretty stellar (minus the chocolate): 146 calories, 7.1g protein, 27 carbs, 8 g sugar, 1.6g fat, 3.4g fiber. If you add the dark chocolate chips, your sitting at about 216 calories! #willsacrificeforchocolate This is by far my favorite Minute Muffin thus far on my tangent of minute muffin recipes.

PALEO BANANA CHIP MUFFINS I’ve never made an “on-purpose” paleo recipe…but I was surfing Pinterest like I do most days and came across a fabulous looking paleo muffin recipe on the blog Chocolate and Carrots.

I swapped out the pineapple chunks for banana and pineapple juice unsweetened almond milk. The recipe called for 4 eggs, so I am sure that’s what helped with the puffiness. It also said to fill the muffins all the…

BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS Three cheers for making your own [un-fried] corn tortilla chips that are crunchy as can be and perfectly salted. Double three cheers for dipping (…scooping?) them in complete and utter deliciousness. Don’t get too excited…I am saving that bad boy for tomorrow’s post. Today’s is all about the chip! I even made a super cool image for you to pin so you can remember exactly how to make them!  I got the idea to make my own tortilla chips after I saw Cassie from Back to Her Roots do a post on the Anytime Fitness Blog. It…
