These muffins have healthy components like yogurt, carrot, banana, flax and oat bran, but are cleverly hidden by a handful of chocolate chips and vanilla. Eat these on the go, for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

directions
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, carrot, bananas and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flax seeds and oat bran.
Pour the dry ingredients into the eggs mixture and mix just until combined. Add ½ cup chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until golden. Using a toothpick, insert into the centre of a muffin to make sure it comes out clean. Let cool on a rack.
While muffins are cooling melt remaining ½ cup chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on 1 minute blasts. Drizzle chocolate over muffins.
