This is another perfect way to use up ripe bananas.  They might not look fantastic but they taste delicious.  They are soft and moist with the presence of whole wheat flour that is alive and strong and these are definitely in the muffin category, not the muffins that are more like cupcake category.  If you want a fabulous healthy muffin with just the right amount of chocolate then make these.

Ingredients

• 2 average-sized bananas, peeled and mashed
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners (lightly grease the muffin liners if using).

In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, sugar, yogurt, egg, and applesauce.  In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.  Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.

Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Bake for 16-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.  Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
