Wow is all we can say about these chocolate banana muffins! They’re dark chocolaty with a light crunch on top and a moist interior.

Imagine: a bite that’s perfectly chocolaty, crunchy on the top and moist on the inside. Yes, these chocolate banana muffins are calling you! They’re the perfect texture, not too rich and just sweet enough. This recipe happened by chance when I was searching for a banana bread recipe using two bananas.

The glittery streusel topping on these healthy pumpkin muffins adds the perfect crunch, and the moist interior is pumpkin-spiced heaven

These healthy pumpkin muffins are pretty much the best fall use of a muffin wrapper that there is. (In our humble opinion, of course!) There’s the tender interior, perfectly moist with pumpkin puree and infused with pumpkin pie spice. Then there’s the streusel topping: oats and glittery turbinado sugar.

Alex and I don’t eat scones often, but once we created this recipe, we knew it would be perfect for entertaining.
