Banana Bread Muffins

This has been my go to banana bread recipe for about 5 years now. I know there are better banana bread recipes (MOM'S!!) but I really like this one a lot; I don't feel bad about serving it to my kids!!

Ingredients:

8 tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 cup applesauce
4 eggs
4 tbsp. skim milk
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 6)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1 /2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. flax seed
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter, applesauce, eggs, milk and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Add bananas and blend at low speed; beat at high speed 1 to 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine flours, flax seed, baking soda and powder and salt; mix into batter. Add chocolate chips. Pour batter into muffin tins.
Bake at 350 for 18 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen muffins.
