Equipment

muffin tin
large bowl

Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 2 medium to large bananas mashed
  • ½ cup apple sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup walnuts, or pecans, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease muffin tin or line with parchment cups.
  • Melt butter and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the bananas, apple sauce, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, baking powder, walnuts, chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir just to mix. It will be thick.
  • Pour melted butter over and stir to combine. Do not over mix.
  • Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop into muffin pan. Ensure muffin mix is evenly distributed for even baking.
