Chocolate Banana Muffins with Cacao Nibs

I bought some organic cacao nibs for smoothie bowls, and I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate them into muffins!

I made Chocolate Banana Muffins with apple bananas and Malama Mushroom's Lion's Mane Cacao Mix, and they turned out yummy!  It's a fun breakfast treat, snack, or even dessert!
