Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins
- 1¼ cup bran cereal
- ½ cup milk
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- Combine cereal and milk in a large bowl and let for 4-5 minutes until soft.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffins pans with 16-18 liners. I love the silicone cupcake liners.
- Mash the bananas with a fork and then add to the cereal mixture. Add in egg, applesauce and honey and whisk.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop batter into prepared liners. Fill each about ⅔ full.
- Bake at 250 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or mostly clean. Do not over-bake.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze.
