Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add the egg, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
