Sathumavu Banana Muffins

Sathumavu means health mix powder which is made with different kinds of grains, millets and nuts which makes it really healthy small children. But obviously kids don't like eating a porridge out of this health mix powder so I come up with different ways to include this in their daily diet.

These muffins are so tasty and soft and moist and wonderful to eat. My children never figure out that these are made with sathumaavu powder!! You can make this for kids after school snack and they will love it! I assure you, adults will also love it!

Notes

1. I always make mini muffins of these healthy muffins as it's easier for the children to eat.

2. Since this is a healthy muffin, you can skip the chocolate chips but my kids and I love a little bit of chocolate chips.

3. Make sure you use the ripest bananas for the tastiest muffins.
