Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • ¼ cup skim milk

  • 1 cup mashed banana

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

  2. Stir whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and chocolate chips together in a bowl. Make a well in the center.

  3. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until frothy; mix applesauce, skim milk, and banana into eggs. Pour wet ingredients into well made in flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Batter will be lumpy. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of several muffins comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
