Banana Maple Mini Muffins

My girls are seriously into their muffins at the moment. Which I’m taking as a good thing as I’m always happier for them to be eating snacks that I have made  But it has meant that I’ve needed to up my muffin game and try out some new recipes. To be honest, I need the variation – there’s only so many batches of my apple muffins I can make! These banana maple mini muffins are my latest creation and have been a hit!

I love them because they are deceptively healthy. There’s no added sugar, just a little maple syrup and the banana for sweetness. They are full of oats and chia seeds adding a bit of extra goodness into the mix. And using yoghurt rather than oil to keep them moist just adds to it all. Plus they are delicious!  My girls told me they smelt like pancakes – that has to be a good thing right? And then they inhaled them! So I figure they have been given a big tick of approval, in this house anyway!
