Healthier Whole Grain Banana Muffins

My friend, Donna, sent me this DELICIOUS recipe for healthier whole grain banana muffins.  She’s a fabulous cook and also very health conscious, like myself.  She came up with this recipe for her family and wanted me to test it out.  They are crazy good!!  We all love them, too.

I used half the amount of coconut oil and substituted sunsweet lighter bake for the other half.  I did this to simply cut calories, since coconut oil is high in saturated fat and calories.  It can be a healthier oil option, in moderation.  You can also do half coconut oil and half plain or vanilla Greek yogurt if you are watching your caloric intake.  I also added a few chocolate chips on top (a touch my kids appreciate).  Make it your own favorite version!  It’s fun to get creative in the kitchen. 🙂
