Chocolate Banana Muffins

Im terrible about letting our bananas turn so Im always on the lookout for new recipes I can use them up in.  While browsing pinterest I can across this recipe and had to try it!  (Original can be found here.)  We absolutely loved it and I had to share this goodness. 

Ingredients: 

3 large, very ripe bananas

2/3 cup granulated sugar (reduce to 1/2 cup if you want less sugar)

1 large egg

1/3 cup applesauce

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup  all-purpose flour

1/2 cup  unsweetened cocoa powder (we split this and used dark chocolate cocoa powder and regular)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Preheat oven to 375* and gather your ingredients.

 

Mash your bananas up with a fork.  Try not to leave any big chunks.

 

Add your sugar.

 

Your egg.

 

And applesauce.  Then mix well.

 

Then add flour slowly mixing as you go.

 

And then your cocoa powder. 

 

And then your salt, baking powder & baking soda.  Mix well.

 

And last but not least your chocolate chips.

 

And fold those in.

 

Fill your muffin tins up to the top (will make 12) and bake at 375 for 18 minutes.

While it bakes lick your bowl.  Don't be shy with it.

 

And then top with chocolate chips and devour. 

 

You're welcome.
