Today Mackenzie from Susie Freaking Homemaker is helping me out with a guest post. Since Mackenzie and I are practically neighbors, we’ve had the pleasure of enjoying many-a-meals together and she is just as hilarious and spunky in real life as she is on her blog! Plus, she loves wine as much as I do…we even both got married at vineyards. I can personally attest that these Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are delicious, because I’ve already made them! Mackenzie was a superstar blogger friend and sent me this recipe two weeks before I needed it, which gave me plenty of time to try them out. I just couldn’t wait because they looked so good! And they totally are. AND the recipe is grain-free! Check out some of her other yums like Grain and Sugar Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, Perfect Fried Chicken, and Green Beans with Brown Butter and Pecans. Before we get to Mackenzie’s post, let’s check in to see where the trail is leading Marc and I today, shall we? Mmmk. Over the weekend we picked up our first resupply bucket that we sent a couple of weeks ago. It would be really difficult to carry all of our food for the entire 16 days, and most people send resupply packages so they don’t have to. I’m most excited about the Monster Cookies I made and sent! Girl needs her choclate.
Today, we are now on day seven of our hike and are hiking from Squaw Lake to Bear Creek – a whopping 14.7 miles! I’m thinking today might be pretty challenging since we did close to 15 miles yesterday too, ending with a good climb to Squaw Lake. Today, however, includes a big descent, followed by another climb. Going down isn’t always as easy at it may seem, though. Descending can be pretty tough on the quads and feet, so who wants to take a guess of how many blisters I’ll have by the end of the day?!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more updates and photos that I’ll post when we have cell reception!
Hello Greens n’ Chocolate readers! I’m Mackenzie, another crazy Minnesotan who just so happens to be a food blogger at Susie Freaking Homemaker. I create recipes based on my most recent cravings, I wish I could say they were all healthy recipes, but sadly, they are not. I’m excited to be guest posting today on Greens n’ Chocolate while Taylor is away spending some much needed quality time with her hubby!
I have been staring at the raspberry rhubarb crisp that Taylor made back on June 1st for weeks. I can’t get it out of my head. I need to pull the trigger and make it, her recipes are just so tempting. I’m very jealous of the fact that she’s in beautiful California right now, but thankfully the weather here in Minnesota hasn’t been too bad. 😉

I was coming off of a 21 day sugar detox when these muffins happened, so there’s no sugar in them. I PROMISE, they are still sweet, I did add chocolate chips and honey! Bonus: these are quite possibly the easiest muffins I have ever made – very few ingredients, whip them together in a blender or mixer and pop them into the oven! Before you know it, you’ve got a crowd pleaser on your hands!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium sized very ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2/3 cup of chopped pecans
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the peanut butter, eggs, bananas, baking soda, vanilla and honey into your mixer and blend until well combine.
- Stir in your pecans and chocolate chips.
- Line your muffin tin with papers, or grease them well.
- Pour about two tablespoons of batter into each cup.
- Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes.

Welcome to greens & chocolate! I'm Taylor and am so excited that you stopped by! I'm a Minnesota girl in my 20's who's loving life with my husband Marc, our son Lars, and our Golden Retriever Maddie. I love cooking healthy meals, but it's essential that I have my dessert. All after a hot yoga class or a run, though! It's all about moderation here at greens & chocolate. 
oooh these have everything I want in a muffin!!
Okay, how have I never found either of your blogs? I’m now a huge fan of both of you! These muffins look ridiculously good, as do all the things on your site. Following/pinned!
