Cocoa-Banana Bran Muffins (For the Diabetic) image

Thanks to Luv4food for posting her fabulous muffin recipe. My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I made a few alterations to help lighten the sugar load. I did take her suggestion to add chocolate chips as the small amount is worth the yummy surprise when eaten.

These muffins are a great way to get your kids to eat their fruit. My kids love the chocolate flavor, and they don't even realize they're eating bananas.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins came out really dense. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These muffins are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra banana next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cocoa, but these muffins were still really good. The banana flavor really shines through.

These muffins are a great way to use up ripe bananas. They're also a good source of fiber and potassium.

These muffins were a hit! They were moist and flavorful, and the cocoa and banana flavors complemented each other perfectly. I also appreciated that they were relatively healthy, with the use of whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners.
