Banana & Chocolate Chips Muffins

these babies were baked spontaneously, 

& you can have them feeling a little less guilty,

for they're made of things good for your body, 

& are also pretty yummy!

piped some pink whipped cream leftover from a cheesecake I baked over this long weekend

How was it?
taste was interesting - fruity in every way possible; the mashed bananas and tea leaves were a tad overwhelming on the taste. the chocolate chips in between the bites were delicious (everyone loves chocolate chips eh). for a muffin baked with that much oats, i'm impressed that the texture turned out cakey instead of the usual "kueh" like texture when you add too much of a good thing such as oats...wholemeal flour & yogurt. a little dense and dry so enjoy it for a quick breakfast with a glass of low-fat milk !

Better it up!
Instead of a fruit-based tea, use vanilla tea leaves instead.
