COCOA-BANANA BRAN MUFFINS (FOR THE DIABETIC)

Cocoa-Banana Bran Muffins (For the Diabetic) image

Thanks to Luv4food for posting her fabulous muffin recipe. My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I made a few alterations to help lighten the sugar load. I did take her suggestion to add chocolate chips as the small amount is worth the yummy surprise when eaten.

Got this one from Kellogg's about 8 years ago. If you prefer, you can use all mashed banana rather than one mashed and one sliced. I've also tried adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to make this a real treat
