Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup flour all purpose
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium bananas over ripe
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips I use semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan generously with spray cooking oil.
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until well combined.
- In a medium-sized bowl crack two eggs. Whip the eggs with a fork or whisk until the yolks are mixed into the egg whites.
- Using the back of a fork in a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth without chunks. Add the bananas to the egg mixture.
- Add applesauce, honey and vanilla to the egg and banana mixture. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are combined.
- Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture in the larger bowl. Stir until just combined with no large lumps.
- Portion batter into mini muffin tins. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on the tops of the muffins before you place the muffins into the oven.
- Bake muffins for 11-13 minutes or until cooked through. When you insert a toothpick no raw batter clings to the toothpick and the toothpick comes out clean. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe makes roughly 36 mini muffins if little hands aren't grabbing them as they come straight out of the oven! :)
- If you don't have applesauce, you can use the same amount of cooking oil.
- You can use all all-purpose flour instead of half whole wheat and half all purpose flour. I don't recommend using all whole wheat flour as the muffins will be too dense.
- I have made these muffins with three bananas before, and they are equally delicious.
- You can mix chocolate chips into the batter as well after mixing the batter, I recommend starting with about a half cup of chocolate chips. I sprinkled the chocolate chips only on the top originally because it reduced the chocolate a little while still giving a great chocolate flavor.
- You can make these muffins into regular sized muffins, it makes about 18 muffins. Expect them to take between 18-22 muffins to cook if using regular sized muffins, or until the muffin cooks all the way through.
- If the muffins are sticking to the pan, let them cool a little longer and then use a spoon to help release the muffins from the pan.
- I don't recommend using paper muffin liners for this recipe. The muffins tend to stick too much to the liners and don't come off cleanly, especially when still warm.
