Healthier Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Here is a recipe for a super yummy and healthier version of a banana chocolate chip muffin and you would never guess it isn't the full fat and sugar recipe either.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup oil

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 to 1/2 cup chocolate chips

2 cups whole wheat flour

In a medium mixing bowl combine banana, milk, oil, baking powder, vanilla salt and sugar until smooth.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Add flour and stir just to combine without over stirring.

Evenly divide muffin batter among a 12 cup lightly oiled muffin pan.  Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 18 minutes.

If you don't care for bananas so much you can substitute a cup of applesauce or mashed pears if you prefer.  We love these for breakfast.  I hope you give them a try.
