Why we love our Banana Muffins
We love these banana muffins so much. The original recipe came from my Gram (the inspiration for our blog), over the years I've made a few changes to make them healthier. Like reducing the fat by adding applesauce and replacing whole eggs with egg whites to reduce fat and cholesterol. I promise you'll never be able to tell the difference at all!The benefit is not feeling quite so guilty about adding in the chocolate chips--totally kidding! Our banana muffins are very good all on their own but those chocolate chips take them right over the top. :)

A few helpful tips for baking at higher elevations:
- If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake.
- Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:
- Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
- Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.
- Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
- Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
- Check if it is done a little early.
- This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.
Enjoy our Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe this weekend!
Now for Fit Friday with Nichole:Happy Fit Friday! I hope that your week has been fantastic. I have spent some time in the sun, some time in the wind, and sometime in the snow. I am really holding on to that time in the sun and trying to forget the rest of it. My heart thrives in the sunshine, it also smiles when it is warm and working.
This week's Fit Friday I am coming at you with a workout to keep that heart warm and working, even when the wind is blowing and snow is threatening.
We are going to focus on that core with a bit of twist, no boring sit-ups for us. You are going to need a weighted medicine ball for this workout, for most people 8-14lbs would be great.
