Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 1.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and slightly chunky.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, honey, unsweetened applesauce, and low-fat milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake 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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy low fat chocolate chip banana muffins!
