Healthy Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

My five year old son thinks muffins are cupcakes and who am I to crush his dreams?

He's been asking for "cupcakes" the last few days so today, I decided to whip up some super easy & healthy gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins for an after school snack.

What I love about these muffins is that there's no refined sugar in these muffins at all.

They get their sweetness from the bananas, honey and apple sauce.

I won't waste anymore time talking to you guys, lets get straight to the recipe!
