I asked some of my readers awhile back:

1. If they had a blender
2. If they used it for anything other than smoothies

The results:

Majority have a blender but they only use it for smoothies. That is SUCH a waste of an amazing appliance! My blender is one of my top 5 favorite kitchen tools. I have owned several different brands, and yes; some are better than others but look for something you can afford and PURCHASE A BLENDER.

I use my blender for everything from making oat flour for my No- Bake Toasted Coconut Granola Bars , to making an easy “dump and blend” pancake recipe, to these delicious banana chocolate chip blender muffins!

Blender Muffins

You heard it here first! Blender Muffins are about the be a “thing.” All the ingredients get methodically tossed in the blender then whizzed up and poured into muffin tins. This recipe came about because I was about to start the process for banana bread but got lazy. This is the ultimate lazy baked goods recipe! They are moist, sweet, and laced with chocolate (and Nutella if you want to get a little crazy.) This banana chocolate chip blender muffins recipe works with any type of milk and is a little healthier with applesauce, whole wheat flour, and ripe banana as the primary sweetener.
