Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Beat in the bananas, egg, applesauce and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.

2. Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners; fill three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes: these were great! Only change was to use buttermilk instead of applesauce and cinnamon chips instead of chocolate. Easy and very good although on the dense side.
