Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine bananas, butter, applesauce, honey, sweetener if using, egg whites, milk, and vanilla until well mixed.

Add baking powder, baking soda, salt if using, and whole wheat flour and mix. Add oats and mix again. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.

Spoon into sprayed muffin tins. Bake at 350F until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (beware of melting chocolate covering the toothpick, though), generally between 15-20 minutes.

Allow to cool for easy removal (if you can wait that long) and enjoy.

    The ingredients list looked long, but I ended up having everything on hand. The consistency was good - very filling. But the flavor was missing.....something....not sure what. Still an OK recipe and for the cals will be worth making again. Thanks for sharing. - 12/17/10
