I have had a big bag of ripe bananas in my freezer for months now, just waiting for the time I felt like baking. I do not bake much, mostly because I will end up eating all of the sweet treats myself! These muffins, however, are a guilt-free delight. Well...almost. They do have sugar of course, but everything in moderation like I always say. Even with a little sugar these babies are great compared to your average muffin because I cut out most of the fat by using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and non-fat Greek yogurt! By using whole wheat pastry flour you get a dose of the healthy grains as opposed to the simple carbs in white flour.
I was honestly surprised at how moist and delicious these came out! Gotta love low fat treats!
I was inspired by a recipe I found on Pinterest from Life's Simple Measures for Banana Bread Bars with Brown Butter Frosting. Oh em gee I wanted to make this version so badly, but I knew I would eat the whole pan so I opted for a healthier version. I think I'll make her version for the holidays! Check out her blog for some irresistible looking treats.

A Little Sweet Tooth...
I totally should not be posting this recipe here because there is nothing healthy about it! BUT everyone has a little sweet tooth and I have found that when you crave something sweet it is better to treat yourself to a little something (key word = little) Everything in moderation is fine.
That being said, who could resist chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake bars?!?!?! NOT THIS GIRL. Luckily this recipe that is all over the pinterest world only makes a small 8x8 batch AND I live with the cookie monster, so he ate the majority of the batch :)
Brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?
