Adding red bananas into your diet will not only provide a low calorie snack, but add a substantial amount of fiber, potassium, Vitamin-C and Vitamin-B6. Unlike the yellow variety that we all are use to, these red bananas have a deep red exterior with a creamy white often times pink flesh. Combining this flavorful fruit with chopped walnuts and dark chocolate makes a moist and delicious muffin.
