The banana bonanza continues . . .

but this time I was ready and waiting for those babies to turn . . .

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I was telling you about this ah-mazing new jam I scored in one of my GoodnessMe Boxes . . . seriously you guys this stuff is incredible!

The moment I cracked open that delicious jar of jam I was hooked . . . Im talkin’ eating it straight up with a spoon direct from the jar hooked #ihavenoshame

Although, it’s pretty much just fruit combined with some cheeky ch-ch-chia seeds (superfood say whhhaaattt?!) and it has 45% less sugar than other jam, nothing artificial just good, wholesome deliciousness so I’m totally ok with my shameless new habit.

Have you tired it? Do you love it? If not you need to run out and grab yourself a big ol’ jar like yesterday – seriously go, go, go – ok maybe wait until you’ve read the entire post/recipe so you can be sure that you have everything you need to make these muffins because you guys . . . ♥♥♥

Like I said, I am obsessed with this delicious little jar of jam, one taste and I knew I wanted to incorporate this deliciousness into some banana infused baked goods because mango, passionfruit and banana = match made in heaven so, here we are . . . are you ready?!

Mango, passionfruit and chia jam filled mini muffins for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys these muffins are quick and easy to prepare coming together in under 20 minutes. Start to finish baby!

Simply throw your ingredients into your blender or food processor and let it do the work for you.

All you have to do once your batter is all blended (apart from try not to drink it straight up from the blender because it smells all kinds of incredible!) is spoon a little of your banana batter into your mini muffin tray, add a cheeky dollop of that seriously addictive jam then add a little more banana batter and bake those babies for 8ish minutes and you’re done baby!

From blender to belly in less than 20 mins!

They also happen to be all natural, made with no refined flours or sugars. Sweetened naturally with a those glorious, manky, over-ripe bananas, a splash of vanilla, a couple of magical medjool dates and a sneaky pinch of cinnamon.

The muffins themselves are super light, seriously moist, subtly sweet and just melt in your mouth.

And then comes the piece de resistance . . . that delicious, tropical inspired, jammy surprise . . .

Oh

My

Deliciousness!

Honestly, I think my head just about exploded with happiness when I saw (and tasted) how well these babies turned out!

I know they may not look like much but, these little muffins are in a world of their own when it comes to taste.

One bite and you will see . . . They are have an incredible, yet subtly sweet, caramelised banana flavour and a tropical inspired, citrusy, sweet jammy little centre.

They also happen to be low carb, grain free and paleo friendly so everybody wins 🙂

These delicious little muffins would make a killer breakfast served alongside some of that amazing coconut yoghurt we made last well, although they really are perfect all on their own.

Just grab a nice cup of tea or coffee and have yourself a blissful, jam filled, banana infused bite anytime your pretty little heart desires.

FYI – these muffins make the perfect addition work/school lunches and can I just say, if you pack a couple of these babies into precious little lunch boxes your family will love, love, love you for it. I’m talking – celebrations and street parades thrown in your honour, mom of the year nominations will be submitted on your behalf – these muffins are that good!

Quick and easy to prepare, insanely delicious and secretly healthy – I mean what’s not to love here people?

All natural, secretly healthy, low carb, grain free and paleo friendly banana muffins with a sweet, explosive, tropical inspired, jammy little surprise inside.
