Chocolate-Chip Monkey Muffin is the Single Lady Cupcake flavor of the day.
But I don’t really know why I decided to call this a monkey muffin. It’s not in any way reminiscent to monkey bread. For some reason, monkeys just came to mind as I peeled the banana. So “monkey muffin” it was.
I used spelt flour as the base. For the “monkey” part: I simply added a little mashed banana, as well as a few chocolate chips. Then I jumped around the house, making monkey noises. Okay, scratch that last sentence. But the other parts are true!
Speaking of monkeys… I’ve been monkeying around lately.
I’m talking about my blog. Today is moving day for CCK! I’m moving to a new server today, which means that—during the day—some of you will see the new site while others still see the old one. But by tomorrow, you should all be seeing the new site. I’m excited… but also nervous. If the site happens to go down for a day (or—yipes—more), please check back. It’s just temporary.
Monkey muffins, haha. What is the monkey bread you mention? My dad and husband always call me a monkey, so I have an adoration of anything monkey-related. And since I have a few too many bananas on the counter, I’ll be making monkey muffins for lunch tomorrow!
I’m still searching for 100% chocolate chips too. They’re on my Christmas list should anyone else find them.
Good luck with the site move. I’m excited to see what changeswill happen!
Apparently, monkey bread is some kinda cinnamon bread. It’s “monkey” because you pull it apart, which is how monkeys eat? Or maybe I’m getting it all wrong lol!
As for the chocolate, you could always crumble a chocolate bar if you can’t find the chips. I have to break the chips up anyway, because they’re bigger than actual chocolate chips. Now, if only someone would make actual 100% chocolate chips… 🙂
I used to LOVE monkey bread.
I just found an easy looking vegan recipe I might need to try!

Thank you for the link. It looks like a fun dessert to make for Christmas or New Years.
Oh goodness, I had a scare for a moment when I saw “CCK is moving!” I was like “Nooo, how will we ever get to meet up again?!” Thankfully I remembered what you said about having a self-hosted blog and the changes you’ve been writing about, but man. I was sad. 😛 I’m glad you’re not REALLY moving and I can’t wait to see the new blog! Good luck with getting it all switched over. 🙂
hahaha for a meet up with you, I’d have to fly in! No way we’re not getting together again! 🙂
I get the reference – but then, Love Actually is one of my favourite Christmas movies ever (:
What I actually came here to say: Inspired by you, I bought my first tub of coconut butter today. Need I say any more? I’m intrigued to make melties now … yum (:
Thank you for the neverending inspiration you provide!
Oh yay times a million!! I’m telling ya, we’re going to take over the world someday with our love for coconut butter. Can yu imagine a coconut-butter-covered world?
*dreams*
Can I help devour… I mean rule over, yeah definitely that… this coconut butter covered kingdom? 😉 I LOVE it spread on my French Meadow sprouted cinnamon raisin toast and as “icing” on my hybrid of your protein cake and HH’s single serving brownie! SO GOOD. I’m already on jar number 3! I even manage to only eat a titch under one serving a day… that’s some self control right there. 😉
Haha yes of COURSE! But you gotta bring your own coconut butter, cuz I’m not sharing mine ;).
That’s super exciting!
You are going to be at the same URL, correct?
Yup!! 🙂
Good luck with the move! How exciting. 🙂
Good luck with the move! 🙂 We will stay tuned even if there are some technical problems; )
The Monkey Muffin looks great!!! Yumm 🙂
MM. I love making the single lady cupcake with peanut flour. So good and high in protein.
Goodluck with moving day. 🙂
Love Actually is one of the BEST winter movies!!
I hope your move goes smoothly! Can’t wait to see the new site! 🙂
That sounds almost good as the pumpkin version… nothing can ever top pumpkin for me!
