Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

I actually make these muffins quite often.  They have no sugar, butter and oil, and they actually taste good!   I mean for sure they are not your normal banana muffin with a cup sugar, but honestly I think these are delicious and such an awesome, healthy snack for the kids!

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tsp coconut oil (optional)
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a muffin pan by inserting paper muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together egg, honey, applesauce, and mashed bananas.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into muffins comes out clean.

2 cups ketchup
2 tsp. salt

Brown hamburger.  Add diced onion and cook until tender.  Add kidney beans and remaining ingredients.  Serve with lettuce tomatoes and cheese.  (we put ours on bakes potatoes).  Thanks Sarah!
