Ingredients
3 large bananas3/4 cup granulated sugar1 egg1 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1/3 cup melted butter or unsweetened applesauce (recipe calculated using applesauce)Chocolate chips (to taste--1 cup calculated)
Directions
Mash bananas
add sugar and egg
add melted butter
add dry ingredients
mix in chocolate chips
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes at 375

** I use applesauce in place of butter to make it more healthy/less calories and they still taste REALLY good and I use whole wheat flour. These are delicious muffins, hey anything with chocolate chips usually is.

***To get 24 muffins, I do not fill the muffin tins. I usually fill them about 1/2 way or less.

     How many calories is the recipe with the unsweetened applesauce (since it's less than when you use butter)? Is it 103 calories with the applesauce or butter? - 7/6/09

    when I plugged in the ingredients I used the applesauce and wheat flour...so that's where the 103 came from.

     These are DELISH!!! I just made a batch, 12 med size muffins. I used 2 very ripe bananas, the applesauce instead of oil, and 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!! I'm freezing the rest before I cave in for more. Next time, I'm going to try making them gluten free. Definite keeper! - 6/3/08

     These were very good, however to get 24 muffins they are pretty teeny tiny. I may double the recipe and make 24 normal size muffins, because they are definitely good. I only used 3 T of semi sweet choc chips and it was enough. Oh and I also just used 1/2C of sugar and they were plenty sweet. - 10/13/08

     These were good! I made some modifications:
    *I used 4 bananas since I had 4
    *I used whole wheat flour
    *I used coconut oil instead of butter
    *I only used 1/3C sugar (raw cane sugar)
    *I added chocolate chips

    ==> about 200 calories/muffin (made 12) - 7/23/10

     I forgot to add the chocolate chips and subbed splenda for the sugar but these were awesome!! I would recommend not using paper liners in the muffin tins, I did and they stuck but I'm sure if I just Pammed the pan they wouldn't have. - 4/9/09

     I just made these muffins. They are FANTASTIC! The only problem is that they are very addicting. I followed the recipe exactly and made 12 full size muffins. - 1/16/09

     I tried these muffins tonight and they are great ! I used whole wheat flour, Splenda brown sugar and applesauce. When I tried to calculate the calories, it came out to be aprox 60 calories per muffin. I am new to this recipe builder thing, so not sure if I did something wrong or not! - 10/18/09
  • ANNIEEL14
     Yum! These were very good, next time I need to add more chocolate chips! I made these with Splenda, an egg beater and the applesauce. I will definitely make these again! - 2/10/09
  • RPAR003
     Really yummy! I subbed whole wheat flour and brown sugar, and added a little more applesauce 'cos I only had 2 bananas. I'll make these again! - 2/11/09

     Made these muffins yesterday and they were a big hit. Very moist and delicious. I made 12 regular size muffins instead of 24 mini muffins. Would definately make them again. - 9/2/08

     I made these muffins last night and WOW! They are a definite favorite. i made the with applesauce and whole wheat flour. I also added in a few chopped walnuts. They came out incredibly moist with the perfect amount of sweetness. I made 12 muffins and 1 loaf. - 8/14/08

     These are very, very good !! Even my family prefers these to the mix we used to use !! Will for sure make again !! Thanks a lot :D - 8/25/08
  • MEGS81
     These are delicious! I used half regular and half wheat flour. The recipe only made 18 regular-sized muffins, not sure if that is related to using the wheat flour or not. Yum! - 8/3/08
  • NORASPAT
     Yes they are very good. DH liked them. I used 1/2 sugar. applesauce and all purpose flour. After the fact the recipe could use Whole wheat.
    There were too many substitutions in the recipe but now I will use the calculator. I do like being precise. DH loves them too. Pat in Maine. - 10/1/17

  • SHELZY68
     Tried this and really liked it. I made 24 mini muffins and 6 full size muffins. I used the applesauce and wheat flour also and also cut the sugar down to 1/2 C. Thanks for sharing. - 2/5/11
  • DEBUSK0924
     Yes! I didnt screw these up this time! Added a little vanilla and cinnamon. 1C ww and 1/2C reg flour, 4T mini choc chips - 7/18/10
  • EVANNOSTRAND
     Very good. Mine stuck to the paper liners pretty badly...not sure why. My bananas were a little over-ripe. But the recipe was very good. I used 1/2 Splenda and 1/2 sugar instead of all sugar. I also used whole wheat flour Next time I might experiment with brown sugar/splenda - 1/31/10
  • MAMASV
     Fabulous muffins! My kids gobbled them up. I doubled the recipe and it made 24 full size muffins. - 9/22/09

     THank you so much! These were SOOOOO good! - 9/11/09
  • MOOJUICE
     I just loved this recipe. With silicon muffin liners, you can find the cutest sizes. With the ones I found, I was able to make 30 muffins. A great size for a kid's snack. By the way, I did'nt have apple sauce, so I put a small cup of Mott's non-sweet peach medley and 1/2 cup of sugar. Mmmmmmm!!! - 8/31/09
  • DMEHRISMAN
     Awesome!!!!! We loved them - 8/4/09
  • PHIL48WOMAN
     Very good! I replaced 1 cup of white flour for whole wheat and substituted brown sugar for white (1/3c. splenda brown, 2/3 c. reg. brown) I would probably use less regular brown next time, as they are a bit sweet. - 7/23/09
  • NAVEGALEJOS
     Fantastic recipe! I used half a bag of the mini semisweet chocolate chips, so they really melt in your mouth! I will definitely make this again! - 6/25/09
  • SAENG22
     As much as I love banana, I don't like them mix with other stuffs. I'll wait till my husband and son to taste them but it looks and smelled wonderful. I bought them to the office and it was GONE! - 6/20/09
