I made a new muffin recipe this morning. It's a winner! Of course, I healthified the original recipe along the way--I added whole wheat flour and reduced the sugar and oil. But, I didn't skimp on the chocolate chips. That would be taking healthification a bit too far, don't you think?
Here's the recipe, as I made it...
In a medium bowl, combine:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup organic white sugar (can just use 2/3 cup of white sugar and omit the coconut sugar if you don't have any)
1/4 cup cocoa (I used Dutch-processed)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
In a small bowl, add the following ingredients and mix well.
1 1/3 cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce (or omit and use 1/2 cup oil)
1 egg
Add banana mixture to dry ingredients and mix just till combined.
Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
Divide among 12 muffin cups and bake at 350 for 15-20 min. until toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. (Mine took 20 min., but I checked them after 15). Enjoy!
