Chocolate Chip Banana Mini Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
• ¾ cups All-purpose Flour
• ¾ cups White Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 3 Tablespoons Flax Seeds (optional)
• 1 whole Egg
• ½ cups Unsweetened Applesauce
• ½ cups Plain Greek Yogurt (or Vanilla Yogurt)
• 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Mashed Ripe Bananas
• ½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the dry ingredients (flour through flax seeds) in a large bowl. Set aside. Combine the wet ingredients (egg through bananas) in a medium bowl. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry using a rubber spatula. Mix gently until just combined—don’t overmix! Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spray two 12-count mini muffin tins with cooking spray or line with mini muffin liners. Fill mini muffin tins 2/3 of the way. Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes, until just golden. Remove pan from the oven. Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in pans, then remove to a wire rack for cooling. Store in an airtight container, but most of all enjoy!
