Chocolate Chip Whole-Wheat 

Banana Nut Muffins

Who would have thought I could make breakfast for the whole week by making YUMMY MUFFINS that pack a huge punch of nutrition.  

Here's the recipe

1 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour

(I used the King Arther White Whole Wheat flour)

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 tsp of salt

1 egg

3/4 cup of apple sauce

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

2 ripe mashed bananas

3/4 cup of smisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375

Use cupcake pan or muffin pan with liners

In a medium mixing bowl combine dry ingredients together.

Mix them together well.

In a seperate bowl add the egg, applesuace, greek yogurt, and vanilla.  Using the mixer on low incorporate all the ingredients together. 

Slowly mixin the dry ingredients and mix gently.  Lumps are ok. 

(Don't over mix)

Fold in the mashed bananas, walnuts, and chocolate chips.

Scoop into  muffin cups 2/3 full.  They really fluff up as they cook.

Bake 18-23 minutes.

Allow them to cool.

Freeze some, and enjoy the rest for a quick and easy on the go 

breakfast for the week.

DELISH.
