It is common knowledge by now that I like muffins, and I like to try to make things just a little bit healthier. That is where these chocolate muffins come in. I know you are saying to yourself; “chocolate muffins, healthy? Yeah right!” Just hear me out!

Today is Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day!! I made muffins, are you surprised? By now, you all know that I am a big fan of muffins. But this month, I have been on a kick to clean out my pantry and freezer before we leave on vacation. The muffins did just that! They used up some bananas in my freezer, and an open bag of chocolate chips. The fact that I now have muffins in my freezer is beside the point.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day. My husband didn’t have to work yesterday, so we enjoyed a great 3 day weekend as a family. On Saturday we drove up into the mountains and did some hiking. We hiked to the top of a mountain (Twin Sisters), which was about 2000 feet of elevation gain and 7.5 miles round trip. My 7 year old did amazing! He didn’t complain once! Amazing what bribing them with ice cream will do 
Sunday we got to have a barbeque with some friends, and Monday we relaxed. I couldn’t have asked for much more.
I made these muffins during teacher appreciation week, and sent them to school. I kept a couple here for us, and they disappeared very quickly. I wasn’t sure how the bran cereal would do in a muffin, but it just disappeared and left great flavor. I used Raisin Bran, because that is all I had, which just added a few more raisins to the mix. I did mix in a few chocolate chips as well. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself!
I might have to mix up another batch of these this week for our pending road trip. As soon as school is out we are getting in the car and headed to see family in Wisconsin. Snacks will definitely be needed on the drive.
