Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
These muffins are a bit of an alteration to the muffins on Skinnytaste. I subbed in ground flax seed and water for the egg whites (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water for each egg white) and also used whole wheat flour and light butter. Mine ended up a bit gooey on the bottom, sticking to the liner, but they still tasted great. I don't know if that happened because of the flaxseed or something else, but it won't keep me from eating them. Each muffin is 5WWP+
What you will need:
3.5 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons light butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add bananas, applesauce, flaxseed and water mixture, and vanilla extract. Beat at a medium speed until thick.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk together. Add flour mixture to the banana mixture and beat until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired and pour into muffin liners. Bake for 30 minutes and enjoy!
