Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana chocolate chip muffinsThese naturally-sweetened, grain-free banana chocolate chip muffins are really something special. Not only do they make for a delightful little treat or snack, but they provide the gut with a dose of resistant starch via green banana flour.

Banana chocolate chip muffinsResistant what? Yes, resistant starch, which “resists digestion” and feeds the healthy gut bacteria. This can contribute to better insulin sensitivity, improved blood fats, increased satiety, better digestion and more. Cooked and cooled white potatoes, fresh green bananas and green plantains are other legit sources. If you want to learn more about it, visit HERE.
