I found this recipe on food.com. I was looking for healthier versions of the high-fat muffins that my daughter likes to take in her lunch. These were a huge hit! There is a 1/2 cup of sugar, but the bananas and applesauce did the majority of the sweetening. I bet some of you bakers could figure out how to ditch that last bit of sugar, if you do, let us know how!
- 3 large bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup flour (you can use whole wheat for a change if you like)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (instant is fine)
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
-
Add sugar to mashed bananas and mix.
-
Add beaten egg and mix.
-
In a separate bowl mix all dry ingredients.
-
Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix well.
-
Mix in applesauce.
-
Add chocolate chips and Stir.
-
Spoon into medium size muffin tin (I use paper muffin cups so they won’t stick) and fill 3/4’s full.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350.

Enjoy
