My New Favorite Muffin

Jenalyn wanted to make banana muffins so I went searching online for a good recipe. As always, I searched on Recipezaar first and I found the mother of all banana muffin recipes!

Low-Fat Banana Oatmeal Chocolate-chip Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 large bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup flour (you can use whole wheat for a change if you like)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (instant is fine)
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Add sugar to mashed bananas and mix.
2. Add beaten egg and mix.
3. In a separate bowl mix all dry ingredients.
4. Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix well.
5. Mix in applesauce.
6. Add chocolate chips and Stir.
7. Spoon into medium size muffin tin (I use paper muffin cups so they won't stick) and fill 3/4's full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350.

I used whole wheat flour and Grandma Sprague's home-canned applesauce. I tagged this recipe as Breakfast and Dessert because they really were that good.
