Healthy Banana Fudge Muffins

These muffins are very moist and full of flavor.  We loved them!  Except for Ava... she didn't think the chocolate chips were a good idea.  They were quick, delish, and lots healthier than some other muffin recipes out there.  I just used sugar, not the Truvia.

Yields 12

Ingredients

·        3 large, extra ripe bananas

·        1/3 cup Truvia baking blend, or 2/3 cup granulated sugar

·        1 large egg

·        1/3 cup applesauce

·        1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

·        1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

·        1/2 cup all-purpose flour

·        1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

·        1/2 teaspoon salt

·        1 teaspoon baking soda

·        1 teaspoon baking powder

·        1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocoate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.

Smash bananas in large mixing bowl. Add Truvia/sugar, egg, applesauce, and vanilla. Sift in flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix together until fully combined, but don't overmix. Set aside about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips and add the rest to the batter. Mix in and divide batter between the cups. Sprinkle remaining chips on top.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs attached. Don't overbake. Let cool on rack for a couple of minutes and then remove muffins from pan to cool until just warm. Eat, or cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Notes

·         If using regular chocolate chips, just roughly chop them up. Feel free to add more if desired!
