Lovely looking recipe! I rarely put cocoa powder in my muffins - I'm always afraid if I get the measurements wrong they will loose their moist muffin-y goodness! I will have to give this a go!
ReplyDeleteI know, I feel the same but the good thing about this recipe is that the banana keeps the muffins beautifully moist!
