Chocolate Chunk Banana Protein Muffins

I love making these little protein muffins. They are wonderful as a post-workout snack. I also like to have one for dessert as they keep me from waking up in the middle of the night from hunger pangs. When you have them warm out the oven, the chocolate chunks are super gooey and lovely. You can achieve this later on by popping one in the microwave for 10 seconds.

They look delicious and inviting! So I copied the recipe and plan to bake some as a celebration of getting my oven fixed (next week I hope). The ingredients are all nutritious, and I'm a big user of protein and collagen powder as I have osteoporosis. Healthy snacks like this are a big plus with significant-others like mine, who would otherwise care less about "healthy"! Thanks so much.
