Happy Halloween!!!!

This is my kind of day.  A day totally dominated by sugar and sweets.  As much as I'd like to deny it - I too am a girl dominated (or at least motivated) by sugar.  

This sugar addicted girl is stocked up on candy to hand out to the kiddos and sugar cookies for any chaperones looking for a little treat.  Halloween  can be a long night for parents who accompany their little trick or treaters - I feel like they deserve a little sugar too.

If you're in my neighborhood - stop by my house and say hello.   We've got our pumpkin carved into an airplane with a working propellor of course, our dog is sporting a new costume and we've got PLENTY of sugar ready to share with all of you.

If you wake up tomorrow with a sugar hangover and you feel like you need to balance all of that sugar with some healthy food - I've got just the recipe for you.   Made with whole wheat flour and no butter or oil but tons of rich, fudgey, chocolatey flavor, these chocolate banana muffins are perfection.

Eating these muffins won't make up for the fact that I may or may not raid any candy left in the bottom of the bucket after all of the trick or treaters have left - but it may keep me from grabbing a Hershey bar for breakfast tomorrow morning.

These muffins are so scrumptious and delicious that you won't even miss the butter and oil.  The chocolate chips add just enough sweet decadence that you'll never feel deprived when eating these muffins.  They do have some white sugar in them but they've also got fruit so that makes them healthy - right?  

Enjoy your Halloween friends!
