Chia Seed Banana-Nut Muffins

My husband Keith is really into chia seeds. He adds them to his water, to his smoothies and oatmeal. When I saw this recipe for Chia Seed Banana-Nut Muffins on Ingredients, Inc., that also includes greek yogurt, I knew I had to make them for him! They were really great and I felt better eating them for breakfast with my morning coffee knowing they had a bit of nutritious ingredients!
