Ingredients

  • 2 2 medium bananas peeled and mashed
  • ⅓ ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar optional, see note
  • ½ ½ cup PLAIN yogurt
  • 1 1 large egg
  • ½ ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 ½ 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ to ½ ⅓ to ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, sugar, yogurt, egg, and applesauce.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Don't overmix.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Bananas: if your bananas are super ripe (and really sweet because of that), you could probably get away with decreasing or even eliminating the sugar.
  • Freezable: also, these freeze magnificently!
