Banana Chia Seed Blackberry Muffins

Sometimes you just want a muffin for breakfast. Well, at least I do. Who’s with me?

While my banana chocolate chip muffins make for an amazing breakfast, they are little decadent to eat regularly. So, I created this banana chia seed blackberry muffins recipe (that I occasionally add a few chocolate chips to for good measure)! While it is still a muffin, it is packed with fruit (read: HEALTHY), antioxidants, and omega 3 fatty acids. What could be bad about that?
