Muffins are our all-time favorite dessert and lucky for us, there are so many great recipes for this delicious treat. We found this recipe for muffins made with blueberries, bananas, and chocolate chips and it sounds amazing!
Shelly Westerhausen who shares great recipes on her blog Vegetarian Ventures, made these muffins and she described them as “chewy and moist and sweet.” She uses yogurt instead of oil and sweetens them with maple syrup, which sounds much healthier than our regular muffins.
Make sure to try them soon!

- 1 1/2 cups spelt (or whole wheat) flour
