BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP + CAULIFLOWER MUFFINS

Snow day MUCH?

 Try this delicious + nutritious recipe because it will definitely brighten your day!

I know what your thinking; cauliflower in muffins?!

Believe me, these muffins are AMAZING. This recipe is packed with fruits and veggies, whether you belive it or not. And to be honest, I can never eat just one. GUILTY. So the key to these muffins is to make sure you steam the cauliflower until it is very soft and puree, until it's smoooooth like butta'! You can choose to leave out the chocolate chips, but personally I love seeing these babys sprinkled on top. It just makes my heart happy! Also, I chose to use almond butter, but you could easily sub for sunflower butter or even make them nut free!

PS: make sure to to grease the pan with coconut oil to have no sticky problems and to get in that healthy fat. Let's get to cookin':
