Raspberry Banana Mini Muffins are the way to go! These specific muffins taste absolutely amazing and the smaller portions are better and more helpful for you in the long run because you aren't eating as much, but you are still feeling satisfied. I have been counting one helping as 3 muffins. If it's too much then simply put one back. If you're still hungry, grab another. You don't have that "pressure" in a sense to finish an entire muffin 🙂
I stumbled upon this recipe because I know I have mentioned this in a previous post, but I hate wasting food. If I know something is about to go bad I'll throw it in the freezer or throw it together with some other ingredients and concoct up a meal. I find that muffins are pretty easy to make and as long as you stick with a good base you can really throw any ingredients in that you want or are in the mood for or that you simply don't want to throw away 😉
Not only do they look pretty on the outside, but check out this delicious pic of the inside and the juice raspberry poking through!
